Skinny Detox Smoothie
Are you feeling a little toxic, sluggish or just feeling the need to lose some weight? We all want to feel great and avoid the burden of toxins, but in today’s world that can be difficult. Even if you’ve been eating well (where’s that American?), toxins are in our environment. If you haven’t been taking the best care of yourself, are starting to feel a bit under the weather, or just want to shed a few pounds, this plant-based smoothie recipe is an excellent go-to. It’s packed with vitamin C and amazing anti-inflammatory, immune boosting herbs like ginger, cayenne and turmeric. Don’t let the ingredients deter you, this smoothie is delicious and lives up to its name!I do recommend drinking it within an hour or so of preparation. Otherwise the herbs can get a little bitter. Patient Testimonial: this just came in from a patient.“I got a terrible cold and felt toxic and awful. I couldn’t even go to work for a few days. The recipe for this detox smoothie came over email and I decided to try it. I couldn’t believe how much better I felt right away. I followed the recipe precisely (fortunately I had all the ingredients on hand) and could really feel the difference. I went to work, drank it again the next day and I’m feeling almost 100%.Thank you!!Michele D.
