Healthy Holidays: Green Machine Detox Smoothie
Now that the bulk of the holidays are over, you might be noticing some bulking of the waistband. If you're like me and you've been indulging in some things you wouldn't normally eat, a healthy detox smoothie might be just the thing to jump you back into healthy eating.
Smoothies are a great way to get alot of healthy nutrients and fiber into your system in a compact and delicious package. In addition to the convenience of throwing a few ingredients in a blender and whipping up a refreshing beverage, a smoothie with the right ingredients can cleanse your body of those holiday foods.
Juil.com has 5 great reasons why you would want to do a smoothie cleanse after the holidays:
-
Weight Loss – You are cleaning out and resetting your digestive tract. This is a great plus, but I am doing it for the other great benefits.
-
Improve your sleep – by removing toxins in your body you are able to resume your natural, restful sleep pattern.
-
Skin Clarity – When you have this buildup of unwanted toxins, the body tries to rid you of them by sweating them out. This causes blocked pores and creates blemishes and breakouts. By removing these toxins you will help your skin gain its full, natural glow.
-
Boost your Immune system – Your immune system gets a nice boost since it doesn’t have to fight harmful bacteria stuck in your intestines.
-
Helps digestive regularity – the fiber, healing, and hydrating elements in the cleanse will restore the natural rhythm of the digestive tract.
So how about it? Let's hit the reset button and get started on eating healthier with a Green Machine Detox Smoothie.
