While you sleep soundly in bed at night, your liver is working hard to filter toxins from your body.
Why not continue the process with a morning detox smoothie?!
With a base of dark leafy greens, this smoothie is already nutrient packed! Make it a detoxifying breakfast by adding cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, cayenne, lemon or Brazil nuts!
Each ingredient brings a unique benefit to the glass:
- Lemon – provides antioxidants, aids digestion, and boosts metabolism
- Cinnamon – naturally stabilizes blood sugar, working to balance the fruit sugars in the smoothie
- Cayenne Pepper – stimulates the metabolism and boosts the immune system, while fighting inflammation in the body
- Ginger – stimulates digestion, assists in the body’s natural cleansing process, and reduces inflammation
- Turmeric – acts as an antioxidant powerhouse
- Brazil Nuts – provides selenium, an important nutrient for healthy thyroid function. The thyroid is the small gland located at the base of your neck, which regulates your metabolism.
