Groundhog Day Sunshine Smoothie

Smoothie For Cleansing

A smoothie for cleansing is a great way to start the cleansing process. We like to incorporate a nice smoothie into our diet for periodic cleansing. I am starting February with a 10 day juice and smoothie detox. Today is my second day and it is Groundhog day too, but I woke with a lack-of-caffeine headache and perhaps the winter weather is partly to blame. I decided to make a smoothie this morning with the idea of warmer sunnier times in mind and this is what I came up with!

Sunshine Smoothie For Cleansing

Course Drinks
Cuisine American
Keyword smoothie
Servings 2

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1 orange
  • ½ avocado
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Dash of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients together and enjoy!

 

 

I blended all these ingredients together and ding my headache is gone! The heat the cayenne pepper adds to the smoothie is just right. I would almost say this was like vegan Mexican scrambled eggs in a cup. Check out the smoothie recipe book below there are some great recipes in it.

Here is my cleansing process and results. Day one is usually okay, I feel hungry but not bad, day two is usually when the headache starts but day three is always the hardest for me from my past experience so I am hoping I have the will power to keep it going so I can reap the rewards after 10 days. We have an article about the side effects of cleansing that can help you know what to expect. Drink a lot of water and hang in there it is worth it.

We would love to know what your favorite smoothie for cleansing or juice combinations are. Please let us know in the comment section below or join the discussion on Facebook.
