Summertime - Juice Recipes That Flush Fat

With all the environmental pollution, toxic body care products and processed foods, most people are in desperate need of a serious detox! A liver cleanse is a great way to do this. Try these 3 easy recipes that will not only detox your liver, but also flush the extra fat you’ve gained during the winter

Detox Drink

Ingredients:
1 Bell Pepper
3 Carrots
1 Medium Cucumber
Half a Lemon
1 Apple
Mix all of the ingredients and drink fast, before the antioxidants get destroyed! This detox drink contains large amounts of vitamin c, vitamin a, a nice amount of minerals, vital for a healthy skin & powerful fat and toxin-flushing antioxidants, contained in the apple and lemon. It does taste a bit strange, but is definitely not unpleasant. Drinking a glass or two a day is extremely effective for cleansing your liver, improving your skin complexion and generally improving your health & energy levels.

 

Green Tea Drink

Ingredients:
Half a cup of green tea, cooled down
The Juice of Half a Lemon
1 Banana Blended In
This is a bit more difficult to prepare, as it requires juicing, blending AND tea brewing! But it’s worth it – the EGCG in green tea acts together with the lemon juice to rapidly detoxify your body. EGCG is absorbed much, much better in an acidic environment and when combined with minerals (the potassium from the banana). Another huge benefits is that the juice tastes very nice – you can almost get addicted to it.

Liver-Flushing Drink

Ingredients:
Half a teaspoon of turmeric
A bit of ginger
The Juice of half a lemon
Half a cup of water
Combining this drink with lemon juice makes it even more effective. Unfortunately, this drink doesn’t taste that well. You can definitely improve it’s taste by adding a banana, but don’t add too much, as the sugar from the banana will slow down the cleansing action of the turmeric.
