What ingredients to use in slimming detox juices?
The main ingredients of a detox juice are vegetables, greens and fruit. Some examples are pineapple, lemon, onion, celery, watermelon, strawberries, blackberries, banana, or beets. But you can also prepare recipes that contain spices such as cinnamon, garlic or pepper, chia or sesame seeds and aromatic herbs such as rosemary, mint or thyme. All these options allow you to discover flavors that you would never have thought to try before, combinations like the ones we show you below and they will surprise you.
Forget once about those false diets that are only based on one food and harm health more than benefit it. With the detox diet you guarantee a healthy diet because, apart from all these shakes, you can continue to eat meats, legumes, pasta… in doses appropriate to your weight, sex, age and body constitution. What happens is that a smoothie causes a satiety effect and reduces the desire to eat, which is why it helps to lose weight, especially if you do a little sport every day.
