Cilantro Mango Lime Detox Smoothie

Cilantro Mango Lime Detox SmoothieIt’s time to do some light detoxing the easy way with a delicious smoothie.

Detoxing is all the rage these days. I don’t subscribe to most of the detoxification protocols out there, unless you’re in a healing crisis.

Instead, I nourish my body with healthy foods full of nutrients that “crowd out” the toxins and support the body’s natural detoxification channels. I also avoid toxins wherever I can (food, water, health & beauty products, cleaning products, etc) and employ detox habits such as skin brushing, sweating via exercise or sauna, and occasional clay consumption.

That said, how does this smoothie help you detox?

Blueberry Mango Raw Milk Smoothie

Blueberry Mango Raw Milk SmoothieWhat would I do without my raw milk, or as like to call it, white gold. Raw milk and the kefir I make with it are staples in my diet.

Real raw milk from grass-fed cows is a complete food that you could live on exclusively if you had to. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, cholesterol, and beneficial bacteria.

Ginger Strawberry Kombucha Smoothie

Ginger Strawberry Kombucha SmoothieKombucha has become my fermented beverage of choice lately. I make my own because it’s easy and affordable.

A few weeks ago my brother had me try GT’s Kombucha Gingerade – oh my was it tasty! The ginger flavor was over the top delicious. My regular old kombucha didn’t seem so special after all ;)

In order to capture that ginger goodness I double fermented my next kombucha brew with fresh ginger. It wasn’t quite as gingery as GT’s, but very good nevertheless.
