Detox Juices & Smoothies recipes + Tips to Aid Detoxification

We hope you are feeling well after 3 days of detoxing!

Are you feeling more energetic? What about the clarity of your mind? Did you get to lose some weight? Is your skin softer and eyes brighter? Did you get to experience all the rewards that detoxification diets bring? I did and I hope we share the same experience.

Below I have four more recipes for you; two vegetable juice recipes and 2 green smoothie recipes.

Remember to snack on variety of raw nuts when you are feeling hungry and have one solid meal in the afternoon. In addition enjoy herbal teas and drink lots of water.

Tips to aid detoxification

I highly recommend you follow these tips both on the detox diet and off it, as a regular lifestyle activity:

  • Brush your skin at the end of a shower followed by a few seconds of cold water, to stimulate your lymphatic system and circulation, which will help the detoxification.
  • Visit a sauna or steam room a minimum of 2–3 times a week while detoxifying and once a week otherwise. Each time you visit a facility with a hot room, stay in the room for three 15-minute sessions. Have a cold shower or a swim in-between each session.
  • Undertake moderate exercise. As your kilojoule intake is restricted, you will feel extremely tired if you try to run your usual marathon!
