Post-Holiday Detox Smoothie

by | Nov 26, 2014

Give your body a much needed boost post-Thanksgiving.

If there is one day in the year when you can fully enjoy an over abundance of food, it’s Thanksgiving.  This is not a day to worry my friends, but a time to connect with family and loved ones, reflect gratefully on your blessings, and wash your favorite holiday sides down with some excellent wine. But, once the last slice of pie has been consumed, and the last cup of coffee poured, you might be feeling a bit fuller than anticipated…

Tomorrow, fuel your body with this delicious detox smoothie.

It has super foods and ingredients that provide nourishment and cleansing properties with a great supply of vitamins, healthy fat, protein and fiber plus the coconut water is hydrating and will help replace lost electrolytes. Drink one serving first thing in the morning and another around 3pm for instant energy and a metabolism rev!

Recover & recharge.
