As we bid farewell to festive feasts and holiday treats, let’s hit the refresh button and welcome the new year with some seriously tasty detox smoothies! These vibrant, nutrient-packed power drinks aren’t just delicious – they’re incredibly good for you. Kick those post-celebration blues to the curb and let’s blend up a healthier, happier new you in the new year. Cheers!
Detox Smoothie with Blueberries and Ginger
This beautiful deep purple smoothie from The Awesome Green tastes even better than it looks. Made with almond milk, creamy avocado, pea protein powder (this one is available at H-E-B), ginger, and a whole lotta’ blueberries, this smoothie has some serious health vibes. There’s also a little lemon and a little bee pollen in this detox delight – but those are optional – as are most smoothie ingredients!
Mango Coconut Smoothie with Turmeric and Lime
This refreshing smoothie Nyssa’s Kitchen packs a powerful anti-inflammatory punch with mango, turmeric, and ginger. The lime juice adds some zest and the coconut milk gives it an irresistible creaminess. This bright, beautiful smoothie is just 283 calories and nets you 66 percent of your daily Vitamin C needs! Tip: Don’t skip the water. Mixing the coconut milk with a little water keeps this smoothie from being too thick.
Creamy Avocado Banana Green Smoothie
If you’ve never had an avocado smoothie, you don’t know what you’re missing. This vitamin- and mineral-packed recipe from Minimalist Baker combines avocado, banana, protein powder, dairy-free milk, and any greens you feel like using. The avocado is full of fiber and healthy fats and, combined with the banana, gives this smoothie a seriously creamy texture you’ll love!
Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie
This smoothie from Delightful Mom Food is loaded with feel-good ingredients: carrots, pineapple, banana, ginger, and turmeric. There’s also a pinch of black pepper, which helps enhance the bioavailability of the turmeric. Note: You can use coconut milk or almond milk in place of the orange juice. If you do substitute the orange juice, be sure to add a little honey or other natural sweetener.
The Best Beet Smoothie
We think beets are the bomb, but if you don’t like them, we promise this smoothie from Detoxinista will change your mind! High-fiber beets have tons of nutritional benefits and can help decrease inflammation thanks to pigments called betalains. Paired with sweet strawberries, bananas, and ginger, you’ll get all the benefits of the beets without being overpowered by their “earthy” flavor.
Tropical Papaya Detox Smoothie
This smoothie from Good Food Baddie is less than 200 calories and will take you straight to the Caribbean! With coconut, papaya, mango, and pineapple, this tropical treat will make you feel like you’re on a well-deserved vacation. Papaya helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and also helps lower “bad” cholesterol. Tip: You can use almond milk or oat milk instead of coconut milk in this smoothie.
