Fruit Smoothies
Getting started on a detox recipe plan can be difficult, and even those who have been at it for a while get a bit tired of the routine. A wonderful detox recipe for both newbies and veterans is the fruit smoothie.
Fruit smoothies are easy to make, provide a wide variety of flavor possibilities, and can be created in almost limitless combinations. The basic recipe for fruit smoothies consists of fresh fruit, combined with some form of dairy product or substitute (such as soy milk or honey) for thickness and flavor, as well as ice. Put them together in a blender, and mix them into the perfect thick, smooth consistency. That’s all there is too it!
Fruit smoothies can be effective detox recipes because for two reasons: what they contain and what they don’t. What they contain is a everything that fruit can bring to your diet: vitamins, mineral, nutrients, antioxidants and more. What they don’t contain is harsh chemicals, preservatives, or anything else you’re trying to flush out of your body by using a detox recipe in the first place.
However, it should be said that fruit smoothies can be effectively mixed with many supplements, such as whey protein powder, for those who need them. There can be great benefits to this, and in fact fruit smoothies can cover up the sometime distasteful flavors associated with supplements. This does tend to take the smoothie out of the realm of dexot recipe and into the world of workout supplements though.
As for the specific combinations of fruits, the sky is truly the limit. Some prefer the purity of a single fruit flavor all by itself, while some will go for the maximum number of fruits they squeeze into a blender – so try whatever pleases your taste buds. You’ll stick with your detox recipe longer if you get some pleasure out of it. Most fruit smoothie recipes include from two to four fruits. Some excellent combinations are those which combine a sweeter fruit with one that is more tart. Apple and banana are a classic combination. Pineapple and peach are another great example.
Although we’ve concentrated here on the fruit smoothie, don’t forget the possibilities of raw vegetables. On their own, or combined with fruits, they can offer many of the same general benefits as fruit smoothies, while adding variety to your detox recipe plan. Enjoy!
Another popular theme is the berry mixture. You can’t go wrong with a detox recipe that includes blueberry, blackberry, strawberry and raspberry…delicious!
