    About the recipe

    There are times when I feel like my system needs a short break. I usually try and avoid refined ingredients and artificial sweeteners for a few days. My favorite resource is Clean Slate cookbook and I follow their 3 day detox program every few months.

    Detox diets are becoming quite popular these days. They are said to remove toxins from the body. It could be a juice detox or a fasting detox or just clean eating.

    The idea is to have a diet with lots of fibrous fruits and veggies that help remove toxins, which are removed by binding to fiber. The nutrients in colorful plant foods drive the process of liver detoxification. It also gives the digestive system a rest from processed foods and common allergens (like dairy, gluten etc.).

      I have tried a detox drink once but never tried it again. This smoothie sounds good, but no idea about how grape fruit would taste.

      Lovely post, Pavani. I am also not a great fan of grape fruit, but I guess this smoothie might make it a little more tolerable.

      Detox diets are used to help the body remove toxins and poisons that it has accumulated. The body faces toxins everyday in pollution, cigarette smoke, food additives, alcohol, caffeine, etc. The motivation behind 3 day detox diets is to promote better health and vitality.
