The Ultimate Liver Cleansing Detox Smoothie
When we do not properly support our body’s natural detoxification system it can quickly become overburdened and lead to chronic disease. This is why I love my liver cleansing detox smoothie!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 beets quartered ----> stimulates liver function
- 3 carrots ----> stimulates liver function
- 2 cups leafy greens of your choice ----> neutralize heavy metals and toxins
- 1 cup dandelion greens ----> bitter greens increase the creation and flow of bile
- 1 organic lemon quartered ----> high in vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water and eliminated via expiration, urine and sweat
- 1 apple cored and sliced ----> helps cleanse and release toxins from the digestive tract, taking the burden off of the liver
- 1 cup purple cabbage chopped ----> increase the amount of glucosinolate in your system, aiding enzyme production in the liver
- Filtered water
- 2 Tbsp MCT medium-chain triglyceride oil, which helps make the nutrients more absorbable by the body. MCT oil does not need to be broken down by the liver so it is an ideal fat to consume when detoxing your liver!
Instructions
- 1. Add ingredients to your blender, starting with the large chunks first (beets and apples).
- 2. Add the rest and pour water to about 3/4 full.
- 3. Blend on high until liquified (you can add more water to your desired consistency).
- 4. Enjoy your Liver Cleansing Detox Smoothie right away for the most nutritional benefits!
Notes
If you really want to make this smoothie nutritious, add 1 Tbsp whey and let it sit on your countertop for 24 hours, covered with a cloth. Lacto-fermented liver cleansing smoothie!
