For some time, there has been a certain trend especially among younger women to improve their diet, paying special attention to natural products instead of immersing themselves in expensive eating routines full of processed foods. One of the most popular trends in recent years is that of detox shakes, based on the old idea of cleaning the body, charging it with energy, purifying it and helping it on a daily basis through these vegetable and fruit-based preparations.
Preparation of frugal detox smoothies
- Detox shakes can be as simple or complex as we want. In fact, we do not have to follow the recipes that are swarming on the internet or in some written publications to the letter, but we always have the option of experimenting as long as we are clear about the bases of this type of purifying routines. One of the key ingredients that we have to take into account is chlorophyll, since it is one of the largest natural antioxidants and also cleanses organs such as the pancreas, liver, colon, or kidneys. We can find this substance in vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, chard, coriander or parsley.
- Other essential ingredients for making detox shakes are citrus fruits. They are very complete foods, not only because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but also because of their great contribution of vitamins and their diuretic capacity. We can highlight fruits such as lemons, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple or limes.
- Starting from this base, with foods rich in chlorophyll and citrus fruits, we can prepare a large number of recipes for detox smoothies combining numerous fruits and vegetables with the number of ingredients that we deem necessary and relevant. In this way, not only will the preparation of these preparations be much more entertaining, but the weariness and boredom of being immersed in a cleansing diet will take much longer to arrive.
