Hi folks
A couple of people have asked about whether fruit is ok. The answer is whole fruit YES. Absolutely, it will help detox deep into your body.
It is however a good idea to avoid fruit juice because having taken away the fibre you are left with a big hit of sugar that your liver will deal with by turning it into fat.
Talking of sweet things. Raw Cacao is a powerful antioxidant and delicious in a milk shake with almond or rice milk and a banana. - the lazy version of this recipe is a couple of blogs below..
Jo Dawson has taken this idea and turned it into something even better. Here is her recipe, I'm look forward to trying it!
Hi Georgie,
I've been making this as a detox smoothie, and it's gorgeous, adapted from your chocolate banana smoothie just slightly.
Soak 1.25 cups of almonds and, separately, soak four dried figs, all over
night.
Make almond milk in the morning with the rinsed almonds and the water from the figs. Eat two of the figs.
For the smoothie:
1 or 1.5 bananas
2 of the figs
2 teaspoons of raw cacao
1 teaspoon maca
glass of almond milk
Blend with a hand blender. The smoothie will have fig seeds in, which makes it deliciously crunchy. It is chocolately, really sweet, without the cocoa powder, and with figs.
Hope you like it :-)
Jo x
