Why you will love this recipe
Great for Detoxification
Detoxing is very important to the body because we are constantly coming in contact with toxins. We do so through the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the products we use, and even the things we touch. When toxins accumulate in the body they cause a wide variety of health problems.
One of the best ways to detox is to keep our diet rich in antioxidants and cruciferous vegetables. This will help to keep your methylation system healthy and strong. You can do so by adding an antioxidant-rich smoothie or juice like this one into your diet a few times a week.
Ideal for weight loss
You could have a slow detoxification system. Toxins are stored within our fat cells. The more toxins that build up within the body, the harder it will become for the body to rid of unwanted fat. Detoxing will eliminate these toxins, making the weight loss process more efficient.
Ingredients
Blueberries: blueberries are loaded with antioxidants that help to repair oxidative damage within the body. One cup of blueberries also contains 4 grams of fiber at only 80 calories. This extra fiber will help to keep the bowels moving, leaving you with less bloat.
Cranberries: Cranberries are considered to be a superfood due to their high nutrient and antioxidant content. In fact, research has linked the nutrients in cranberries to a lower risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), the prevention of certain types of cancer, improved immune function, and decreased blood pressure. They also lend a bit of flavor to this juice.
Water
Agave syrup: just a little bit of this natural sweetener goes a long way in sweetening this juice.
Instructions
Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until a liquid consistency has been met.
Storage
It’s juice so doesn’t have to be consumed right away. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Equipment
My favorite blenders are Mueller Juicer Ultra Power and Cuisinart CPB-380 Hurricane Compact Juicing Blender
Top tips
Adding various herbs and spices to a smoothie can enhance its flavor and aroma. I would recommend adding kale, spinach, pineapple, oranges, strawberries, or blackberries.
The quantity of these ingredients should be based on personal preferences, ensuring they complement rather than overpower the other flavors in the smoothie. If a sweeter taste is desired, agave syrup or stevia can be used.
