Powerhouse Green Detox Smoothie

Did you have a few too many cocktails at the summer BBQ? Perhaps you ate a full bag of salty chips, a hamburger, and a long list of other fattening foods. What’s done is done and you cannot change the past. Don’t dwell on the past because the only way out of the depths is forward. One of the best ways to nurse yourself back to proper health is by following up all of that bad eating and drinking with a morning detox smoothie.

This detox smoothie is chock-full of nutrient-dense ingredients, including cucumber, ginger, and kale. Every detox eating regimen should include kale because it has a long list of nutritious benefits. Kale is an excellent source of fiber, which works to enhance digestive health and keep cholesterol levels down. Kale is also rich in quercetin and kaempferol, which are phytonutrients that may help neutralize inflammatory markers in the body.

Cucumbers help promote detoxification in a slightly different way. These water-rich produce items are advantageous for the liver because they aid in flushing out toxins and promote optimal liver function. Additionally, cucumbers contain flavonoids and beta-carotene, which may aid inflammation reduction and support the liver’s natural detoxification processes. Cucumbers, kale, and the other ingredients in this smoothie will not immediately fix your health, but it can kickstart the body’s detoxification processes and set you up for success.

Pineapple Grapefruit Detox Smoothie

When you find something that you like, especially a smoothie, it can be hard not to stick to it. That’s how we feel about green smoothies, anyway. Most people struggle to find a green smoothie that they actually enjoy. A green smoothie that is too bitter or tastes like fresh cut grass doesn’t entice your taste buds to return to that flavor. Mix the right fruits with the right greens, though, and you’ll set yourself up for success.

The great thing about this detox smoothie is that it contains many beneficial ingredients that support the body in myriad ways. So as not to bore you, we are going to focus on two standout ingredients that aid the body’s natural detoxification processes: grapefruit and pineapple. Both of these ingredients aid the body in the following ways:

Grapefruit: This citrus fruit exhibits antiseptic properties and acts as a digestive tonic. Many studies have found grapefruit to be highly beneficial for the lymphatic system, as it boosts lymph gland activity. That can help remove lymphatic waste and prevent circulatory issues, allergies, fluid retention, breakouts, and even cellulite.

Pineapple: Pineapple is a great ingredient for your detox smoothie, particularly because it aids digestion and is full of nutrients. One cup of pineapple contains almost 75% of your recommended daily intake of manganese. Pineapples are naturally rich in carotenes, flavonoids, and polyphenols, all of which work to neutralize free radicals and aid the removal of toxins from the liver and bloodstream.

Antioxidant Beet Berry Smoothie

Are you ready for another show-stopping, incredibly delicious smoothie? You must be because you clicked on this antioxidant-rich beet and berry smoothie. It is as rich in flavor as it is vibrant in color. Although berries are in this smoothie, you can thank the beets for the color and the incredible nutritional profile. Just make sure that you protect your clothing while cutting the beets, or else you run the risk of staining yourself.

There are three superfoods in this beet smoothie: berries (particularly the blueberries), beets, and chia seeds. Chia seeds pack a powerful, nutritional punch, with one serving offering 10 grams of fiber and nine grams of fat, eight of which are healthy fats. Although the berries provide a sweetly tart flavor profile, we increased the sweetness by adding banana and some Medjool dates. The homemade almond milk also provides an added layer of nutrition, but primarily makes this smoothie luxuriously creamy.

Before we give you the recipe, our last note is that people are usually scared of beets. They have a distinct, earthy flavor, but you can temper it by mixing in other fruits. Since beets retain more nutrients in their raw form, they are commonly added to detox smoothies and juices. They may help keep blood pressure in check and have proven to be a great source of folate. Finally, they work to fight chronic inflammation, which is associated with an increased risk of cancer, obesity, heart disease, and liver disease.

Pineapple Cucumber Detox Smoothie

If one buzzword has remained constant within the past 10 years, it’s the word “detox.” The body is regularly exposed to harmful toxins from foods in the Standard American Diet, beauty products, and the environment. That’s why health experts strongly encourage regular detoxification. The body has the ability to detox on its own, but the onslaught of toxins and harmful chemicals make those processes difficult. So a little helping hand from natural ingredients is necessary from time to time.

Detoxing works to improve energy levels, may enhance immunity, and aids with weight loss. A detoxing juice or smoothie is a great way to help deliver necessary nutrients to your body. The foods are pre-digested, meaning your body does not have to work to break them down when you consume them. Nutrients in the ingredients in this detox smoothie can aid the body’s detoxification processes. Pineapple is a rich source of vitamin C and other antioxidants, which are necessary for optimal immune function. It also contains bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme that helps the body break down protein.

Cucumber is a great detoxifier and has a naturally high water content. Not only does it help enhance hydration efforts, but it also contains mineral like magnesium, silicon, and potassium. It also contains sterol, a compound that researchers praise for its detoxifying properties. Finally, the lemon juice is naturally rich in powerful antioxidants, which work to protect the body’s cells from damaging free radicals that cause oxidative stress.

New Year’s Detox Smoothie

Vincent Stevens — Sun, 01 Jan 2023 17:24:00 +0000

Sometimes, you just need to start your day off with a large green detox smoothie. Maybe you had a hard night out and need to replenish your vitamins and minerals. Whether your liver is in pain or you want to promote detoxification to kick start your weight loss journey in the New Year, this smoothie is for you. It is rich in some seriously nutritious fruits and vegetables that encourage cell health and nourish your organs and systems.

Did you know that every person can have 200 different types of toxins stored in their body? Whether these toxins are from lead in diesel fumes, cleaning chemicals, carbon oxides, pesticides, smog, or manufacturing residues, toxins exist in the body and some of them exist in fat cells. The body actually stores toxins in fat to minimize damage to other cells and organs. The downside to that is that toxins in fat cells can make it more difficult to lose weight. When you consume foods that aid detoxification, though, you can help eliminate waste and weight as a result.

The primary detox ingredients are dark leafy greens, mangos, berries, pineapple, fresh mint, avocado, bananas, flax seeds, and ginger, among many others. For this green detox smoothie, you’ll need a handful of those ingredients, but not all of them. Should you want to get creative and swap out mango for pineapple, please do so. This smoothie is merely a concoction of detoxifying ingredients to help your body. If you develop your own recipe, let us know about it in the comments below!

7 Easy No-Cook Recipes To Beat The Summer Heat

Vincent Stevens — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 09:08:00 +0000

The heat of summer can often inspire general fatigue. All you want to do is live in a safe haven from the dry or humid heat. Often times, this is your home, which begs an important question. Why should you spend time baking food in the oven or spend hours over the stove cooking meals? Not only does this make your air-conditioning work harder, but it also causes you to lose interest in the hot food. What can be done?

If you’re looking to beat summer heat, try your hand at some no-cook recipes. Instead of a hearty stew, consider a refreshing salad with summer fruits and vegetables. Avoid heavy dairy desserts that cause bloating and opt for homemade sorbets that cool you off. Lettuce wraps, smoothies, raw soups, and vegetable noodle recipes are lighter, cooling meal options. They won’t weigh you down or cause sweating, unless you kick up the spice level.

The following recipes are all raw vegan, meaning that they are great for anyone participating in one of the many Dherbs cleanses. If you are not ready to transition to this type of eating plan, feel free to add pre-cooked legumes to your salads or entrees. If you opt for canned legumes, please pay attention to ingredients labels. Many of these canned varieties can easily cause people to exceed the recommended daily amount of sodium. Fortunately, there are sodium-free or low-sodium varieties that are much healthier options.

To start you on your no-cook summer meal marathon, here are seven recipes that will keep you feeling fresh in the summer heat.

Kale Salad With Almonds, Cranberries And Apples

Boost your nutrient intake by enjoying this raw vegan kale salad that’s perfectly balanced with apples, cranberries, and a tart vinaigrette. Kale is naturally bitter and has an assertive flavor. For this reason, sweet ingredients like apples and dried cranberries work well in kale salads.
