DETOXIFYING APPLE CARROT SMOOTHIE

Apple Carrot Detox Smoothie

Detoxifying Apple Carrot Smoothie. Even though your body can eliminate toxins on its own through the liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs, it’s only when these organs are healthy can they effectively do their jobs to eliminate unwanted substances. You can help eliminate toxins from your body with a simple detoxing drink – as it not only improves your health, it also promotes weight loss.

And here’s where this Apple Carrot Detox Smoothie comes in. Simply blend up this nutrient and antioxidant filled smoothie and help your body boost the cleansing process. Enjoy this delicious blend of apple and carrots 🙂

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Apples – have high amounts of pectin which is a fiber that attaches to heavy metals and cholesterol in the body and helps cleanse the intestines. Apples are popular in detox recipes because they are high in fiber and water and have been found to support weight loss
Carrots – a good source of carotenoid, which acts as an antioxidant and helps in detoxifying your system
Banana – have antiviral and antifungal properties that can help promote healthy gut flora, and their fiber helps to support daily detoxification by sweeping the intestines clean
Coconut Milk – high in potassium, which can flush out excess water from your body
Coconut Oil – is a saturated fat that can help restore lost vitamins, minerals and nutrients and helps eliminate excess sugar from the body; is thought to metabolize in the liver making it readily accessible as an energy source; can help prevent digestive and nutritional diseases
Ginger – ability to cleanse the body by stimulating digestion, circulation, and sweating. Its digestive actions may serve to cleanse the build-up of waste and toxins in the colon, liver, and other organs
Yogurt – contains quality probiotics can add helpful bacteria to support gut health
