LIVER DETOX SMOOTHIE
Nutritious liver detox smoothie with apples, spinach, banana, carrot, parsley, turmeric, lemon, walnuts, and hemp protein powder. This healthful, filling smoothie is packed with everything you need to help cleanse and revitalize your body.
I always like to start the New Year with a smoothie recipe or two to help clear out any over-abundance we may have entertained during the holidays. …And also, who doesn’t love a great, nutritious smoothie?
You may have noticed, I like to give a theme to each of my smoothie recipes. For instance, the Immunity Boosting Tropical Smoothie, Good Digestion Smoothie , Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie, and Aphrodisiac Smoothie recipes I’ve posted in the past do just what their titles suggest.
And now? It’s time to detox our livers.
I know, not exactly the sexiest topic in the world, but bare with me here, because this stuff’s important.
We typically don’t think about each of our organs when we’re sitting down to a meal with family, are going out for a night on the town, or simply making day-to-day food choices. It’s easy to overlook the parts of our body that aren’t immediately obvious, but the liver serves some pretty important functions.
Storing vitamins, minerals and glycogen, removing toxins from your bloodstream, producing bile to digest fat and break down hormones, balancing protein, fat and sugar in the bloodstream, and eliminating old red blood cells are just a few of its many functions.
INGREDIENTS
RECIPE NOTES
*Replace banana with 1/2 cup chopped papaya if intolerant to banana. Papaya is a powerful antiparasitic and also aids the liver.
**for a sweeter, tropical-tasting smoothie, use orange juice
