“Green Detox Elixir: A Natural Cleanse for Your Liver, Colon, and Belly Bloat”

par

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale (rich in chlorophyll)

  • 1 cucumber (hydrating and soothing to the gut)

  • 1 green apple (adds sweetness and fiber)

  • Juice of 1 lemon (boosts liver enzymes)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (anti-inflammatory)

  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional but powerful anti-inflammatory)

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for fiber and gut support)

  • 1 glass of filtered water or coconut water

  • A few fresh mint leaves (optional for digestion and flavor)

Preparation:

  1. Wash and chop all produce into blender-friendly pieces.

  2. Add spinach/kale, cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, and water to a high-speed blender.

  3. Blend until smooth. You can strain the juice through a fine mesh if you prefer a thinner consistency.

  4. Stir in chia seeds after blending, and let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the seeds to swell.

  5. Pour into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately!

Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Best served fresh in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum detox effect.

  • Can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake well before drinking.

  • Avoid storing longer, as oxidation reduces nutrient potency.

  • For a cool refreshment, add ice cubes or refrigerate 15–20 minutes before serving.

Variants:

  • For added sweetness: Add a few chunks of pineapple or half a ripe banana.

  • To boost fiber further: Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

  • To support liver detox: Add a handful of dandelion greens (bitter but powerful).

  • To make it a smoothie: Use less water and add a few avocado slices for creaminess.

  • Spicy version: Add a pinch of cayenne for metabolism support.
