Key Ingredients In This Detox Blueberry Smoothie

When making detox smoothies, it’s important that you select the right ingredients.

Mixing random ingredients won’t help the detoxification of your body, so selecting the right ingredients is crucial.

We will break down each ingredient we used, and how it can benefit the detoxing of your body.

#1. Wild Blueberries

If you can get your hand on some wild blueberries, that would be ideal, however, organic or other blueberries can also work.

Wild blueberries have a lot more antioxidants, than regular blueberries. As for the detox properties, the presence of phytochemicals in blueberries aids the detoxing in your body.

#2. Grapefruit

Grapefruit does wonders for our digestion. It helps the cleansing process in your body, thanks to the antioxidants and vitamins.

Furthermore, grapefruit is in low calories, making it a great weight loss fruit.

#3. Spinach

Spinach is high in fiber, which is crucial to help cleanse your colon.

We have so many toxins in our colon, and when you are constipated or you don’t have regular bowel movements, you tend to keep these toxins in your bowels.

A high-fiber diet combined with plenty of water, is key to flushing out toxins from your colon and improving constipation.

Furthermore, spinach is high in antioxidants and Vitamin C, which are both wonderful for keeping you healthy.

#4. Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have many benefits. They are high in plant protein and fiber.

Chia seeds expand when they are in contact with liquid and moisture, so when they reach your colon, they expand, which makes your bowel movements more regular.

As discussed earlier, regular bowel movements help flush out toxins.

Apart from detox benefits, chia seeds can also keep your heart healthy!

#5. Lime Juice

The acid citric found in lime and lemon juice is great for keeping your digestion healthy and helping you beat the bloat.

Lime juice is also great for boosting your immune system, thanks to its Vitamin C which goes hand-in-hand with detoxing.

#6. Coconut Water

An important part of detoxing is hydration. Coconut water is delicious and very hydrating.

Proper hydration can really benefit your skin. Furthermore, the presence of antioxidants and vitamin C in coconut water may naturally stimulate collagen synthesis.
