Superfood-Packed Green Detox Drink For Weight Loss

When we detox, we strive to flush toxins from our bodies, built up overtime due to our diets, lifestyle, and environment (such as smoggy urban areas). Detoxes flush out this buildup that could otherwise cause us harm down the line. But what if, at the same time we eliminated toxins from our body, we also added beneficial nutrients? That’s the idea behind green detox, otherwise known as a green superfood detox. 

We all know saturated fats, sugar, synthetic chemicals, pollutants, noise pollution, etc. are bad for us, and we all know that fruits, veggies, and many roots are good for us. So by flushing out lots of the bad and welcoming lots of the good, we double up the benefit to our bodies. 

This green detox drink recipe helps you do just that. And the best part is, besides getting in a healthy green detox, it’s also super easy and affordable to make. That’s right—no more spending $15 or more on a single green detox drink. This recipe shows you how to make your own for around $4 or so per serving. That’s a full cleanse plus a superfood boost for less than the price of your coffee, and way less than some sugary, overpriced superfood detox smoothie.

About This Green Detox Drink

What makes this recipe truly stand out is that it’s not just a green detox, but a superfood detox. In a world where the term “superfood” is often a superlative, that may make your eyes glaze over. After all, what these days is not a superfood? Let’s start with what is.

What are superfoods?

Superfoods are foods that are rich in beneficial compounds, like antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, adaptogens, or essential fatty acids. This may seem pretty broad-ranging, but given the dearth of vital nutrients in standard meals, it actually narrows the culinary playing field quite a bit. 

Why is this a superfood detox recipe?

This green detox drink is loaded with 36 superfoods—a whopping 34 are found in our super-low-calorie secret ingredient. You’ll be getting a full daily dose of some of nature’s healthiest veggies, plus nutrients that help fight bloating, improve your skin, manage a healthy weight, and feel energized throughout the day (with the jitters of caffeine), and lots more. 

That’s the superfood part. 

But it goes even further than that, providing powerful beneficial detoxifying ingredients in SkinnyFit Detox tea. Hence why this recipe is a superfood detox.

By combining powerful antioxidants into a low-calorie superfood infusion, your body is able to flush out harmful buildup and replace it with nourishing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, adaptogens, and more to essentially restart with a fresh nutrient plate. Pun intended. 

With all that said, let’s dive into what makes this green detox drink such a great superfood detox too.
