I was curious as to if anyone had any good detox recipes for drinks or smoothies. Preferably smoothies, but I'll take either! I've never tried a detox formula, but I wanted to come here first before going to Google for any recipes.


Thanks in advance!

    I don't think I could cut out caffeine... I love my coffee too much and my teas (I love all kinds of tea). And sugar and gluten would be terrible to cut out. And I do like my alcohol sometimes...

    There's this really good detox drink, supposed to assist liver, blood and kidneys to filter out all the toxins and helps carry them out of your body. I think it's called water.

    a good flush recipe to wash out your liver, kidneys and urinary system (gets rid of excess fluid too)

    2 dandelion root tea bags (the ones I use already contain Nettle leaf and milk thistle among other things but you could just do dandelion root and Nettle) infuse for 5 mins in 1.5 cups of near boiling water. then add
    two teaspoons of blackstrap molasses,
    two teaspoons of swedish bitters,
    1 cup of light cranberry juice
    two teaspoons of lemon juice.

    You can adjust this ie: add more water and cranberry to your taste, usually makes about 1.25 litres and I drink it through the day but if you water it down more it will last longer. I only really measure the molasses and the bitters the rest I just do to taste. You'll be peeing like a horse in no time lol! Also drink plenty of plain water in between. This isn't a fasting thing just a tonic to help flush you out.

    Water.

    You're liver and kidneys do the job of removing "toxins" from your body. So drink enough water and forget about fads.
