Spring break is just around the corner!!

During the weekend, I won’t lie and say I’m really healthy like I am during the week. Being busy, and wanting to do things with my roommates makes me want to just eat easy, but fattening foods which IS NOT good. A cheat meal during the weekend is totally okay but sometimes my roommates and I want to eat everything in sight that is bad for us on the weekends. Once Monday rolls around, I’m back at the gym and my healthy food grind. But I do feel bloated and I don’t have a lot of energy, so to solve this I like to start my week off with a healthy but yummy detox smoothie. These detox smoothies give me: energy, and gives me a all natural cleanse. A nice cleanse feels great and flushing out your bodies toxins is much needed!

Directions: be creative and use what you like best!

1. Choose a 1-2 cups of a base liquid
2. Choose 2 cups of your favorite base ingredients
3. Add some creaminess
4. Add 1-2 cups of green
5. Add some boost nutrients
6. Add some flavor
7. BLEND BLEND BLEND
8. AND ENJOY 🙂

Ingredient Options: 

1. Fresh apple/orange juice, coconut water, almond milk, green tea
2. Fresh/frozen fruits or veggies
3. Avocado, banana, yogurt, almond butter
4. Kale, spinach, beets
5. Chia seeds, flax seeds, ginger,pomegranate
6. Cinnamon, red pepper flakes, hemp oil

What I love is each week I can change up the ingredient choices so I enjoy the detox smoothies. Drinking the same kind each week would make me sick of it and not want to drink it. It is important to keep the insides of your body healthy so you can have energy and motivation for the upcoming week. This smoothie can be ate as a breakfast, snack or even lunch. Detox smoothies are fully nutritious and filling. They also help someone loose weight which is nice as well. I personally have been really strict on my eating, and making sure I been doing these each week so I can feel confident in my bikini on spring break!!

There are also other benefits in the detox smoothies:

• Increased energy
• Strengthens immune system
• Source of antioxidants
• Boosts fruit & veggie intake
•   Minerals for healthy bones
