5 Detox Smoothie Recipes

Detox smoothies are a great way to “healthy-up” your normal diet. They are easy to make and also have incredible health benefits.

Although the human body has its own built-in detoxifying organs, our busy lives don’t always allow us to sustain healthy eating habits. Drinking at least one detox smoothie a day is the easiest way to add to your dietary routine, while also being the most delicious way to naturally purge toxins away.

Depending on the ingredients you use, they can help with weight loss, reduce overall amount of inflammation, sustain regular bowel movement, among many other health benefits.

So, why not try it out? Our advice: experiment with different smoothie recipes until you find the perfect combination for yourself!

Here are our top 5 favourite detox smoothies that we can’t get enough of!

Kale Smoothie    

In case you haven’t paid attention, kale has been one of the hottest food trends to follow. Much to our surprise, this massive obsession is strongly justified since this leafy vegetable is in fact a nutritional powerhouse. It contains calcium, copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus and potassium, while also being high in fiber and vitamins.

This morning detox smoothie is a great way for you to up your kale intake, especially if some of you find it slightly bitter.

Kale-Ginger Detox Smoothie

For the fans of more flavour-rich smoothies, we recommend this one. Together, the ingredients create a delicious vitamin-filled smoothie that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied. It combines the health properties of blueberries, bananas, ginger and kale, giving you a morning super-booster.

Berries are an excellent way to purge toxins from your system as they are full of antioxidants and fiber. Raspberries and blackberries have a lot, but blueberries in particular are packed with them! That’s why combining all three makes the ultimate antioxidant smoothie.

Similarly to berries, dark cocoa is an antioxidant-rich superfood. The All-About-The-Cocoa smoothie gives you that chocolate flavour you love, while also being a great vitamin and minerals source.
