The Best Breakfast Detox Smoothie Recipe To Cleanse Your Body

Detox smoothie recipe. When making a smoothie, many think: “A treat!”. And while this holds in all shapes and forms, different recipes have different effects. So, why not go for a recipe that boasts benefits for a specific issue?

Preparing a detox smoothie recipe is not about forcing yourself to detoxify. A smoothie diet, in general, is not about restrictiveness. On the contrary, it’s all about the freedom of making the right combination – in taste and benefits.

While it could be healthier to jump from diet to diet continuously, having an occasional detox meal can do wonders for your body and your health in general. Modern-day life, as fast and demanding as it is, is also quite toxic. At least compared to life until some decades ago. Quickly and heavily chemically processed or treated food, lack of time for a proper meal, eating while standing or commuting, and lack of sleep with increased consequent stress are just a few additions to our contemporary daily routine.

Everyday routines nowadays include explicit health caution and wise meal choices to maintain good health conditions. A detox recipe now and then is an excellent opportunity to cleanse your body and revitalize some essential bodily functions. It is an opportunity to stray just a bit from the unfavorable diet.

Why Detox Smoothie Recipe?

There are different ways of implementing a detox diet in your daily menu. However, not all methods are equally beneficial. The smoothie diet is especially helpful because it allows its ingredients to keep their fiber content. Fiber is one of the critical ingredients when attempting a detox diet. It eases bowel movement and regulates gut flora.

In addition, I would like to point out that if you want to extend the detox diet beyond a single meal, it is recommended to consult your healthcare professional first. Detox diets are complex and can lead to short-term exhaustion and fatigue.

Since that’s been cleared out, let’s check out today’s detox smoothie recipe. The ingredients have been carefully chosen to provide a high-quality detox effect and a synchronized taste.

Dates

Speaking of a high-quality detox ingredient, dates are the choice! Easy to digest, they contain dietary fiber that is very important because it helps transport the waste through the colon while clearing the bowels from toxic chemicals along the way. Also, they are rich in antioxidants that viciously fight dangerous free radicals. Along with the anti-toxic environment, dates are suitable for reversing issues related to the reproductive system. Additionally, their sweet taste makes for a great start to this recipe.

Lemon

Due to the myriad health benefits, permanent funny taste, and irresistible aroma, lemon is a common detox program ingredient. It holds astounding amounts of vitamin C and is a powerful infection fighter. However, plenty of other nutrients within the lemon make up for many other health benefits. The so-called flavonoid glycoside nutrients, hesperetin and naringenin, are found in most citrus fruits. This amazing nutrient combination enables and empowers anti-free-radical activity.

Some of the lemon’s detox properties include:

• Clean-up of the blood vessels
• Protection of the inner blood vessels’ walls from the alarmingly dangerous roaming radicals
• Help in reducing the chances of developing heart disease

Also, a great source of fiber, and we mentioned above how fiber influences the gastrointestinal tract.

Lemon’s cleansing effect does not stop there, however. One of their less popular benefits is promoting kidney health by helping dissolve and remove kidney stones.

Spinach

As a highly healthy leafy vegetable group member, Spinach brings some beneficial detox-promoting nutrients. First of all, Spinach can lower or diminish cravings. Also, Spinach is rich in flavonoids that play the role of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent the oxidation of cholesterol, thus offering protection from malicious radicals. This effect is most powerful in the colon. Lowering blood pressure and promoting cardiovascular health are significant benefits of today’s detox smoothie recipe. The brain and general mental health benefits are just some additional spinach benefits.

Protip: when cooking Spinach, add some lemon juice and cook it lightly to avoid the iron contents.

Banana

Bananas represent another common smoothie ingredient; however, today, we use them primarily due to their detox benefits. Like dates and the lemon, bananas contain fiber, thus very friendly to the gut. They are also rich in vitamin B6 (approximately 1/3 of the daily needs), making bananas a powerful fighter against anemia and decimating the possibility of developing coronary artery disease. The magnesium contents in bananas actively work towards making the bones stronger; however, for today’s detox smoothie recipe, I want to focus on its ability to protect the heart. The manganese in the banana serves as an antioxidant enzyme activation agent.

Flaxseed

Another fiber-rich ingredient. It only shows that fiber is important for a detox smoothie recipe and general health. Flaxseed contains minerals, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. They are suitable for reducing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. There are also polymers called lignins known to lower the risk of developing colon cancer. Also, flaxseed helps regulate blood cholesterol, which prevents heart disease.

Ginger Powder

The penultimate ingredient for today’s high-quality detox smoothie recipe. Highly popular for its health benefits, ginger brings it all, starting with a very specific taste and scent and ending with a variety of potent health properties. The latter even got ginger listed as a flatulence medicine.

It’s also an excellent source of many minerals – copper, potassium, manganese, magnesium, etc. – and vitamin C. Ginger eases stomach sickness and vomiting and has a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Even more important, before reducing stomach sickness, ginger prevents bloating. It also acts as a pain relief and a powerful morning sickness medicine. And when it comes to motion sickness, there is a popular notion that ginger beats even some official treatments, especially since it’s highly safe, and only a small dose is usually enough to do the job. Honorable mention goes to ginger’s distinctive anti-cancer effect and the ability to counteract chemotherapy side effects.
