Clean Up Your Breakfast With This Tropical Detox Smoothie
Detoxing doesn't have to mean limiting yourself to only a handful of specific foods, or cutting your diet down to lemon and cayenne pepper! It can be flavorful AND revitalizing!
At it's core, detoxing means eating real, whole, fresh foods as close to their natural source as possible while avoiding added salts and sugars. If you give your body the nutrients it needs, you'd be amazed at what it can do for you!
Inspired by the BodyRock Meal Plan, this detox smoothie tastes like a summer beach fantasy. The pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which helps your body digest food by breaking down proteins. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for helping soothe your aches and pains after your BodyRock Advanced Bootcamp workout! Pineapple is also full of vitamins A, C and B vitamins like folates, thiamin, pyridoxine, and riboflavin while also providing minerals like copper, manganese and potassium. Spinach helps boost the nutrient profile of this smoothie while coconut milk provides you with a dose of filling healthy fats! Check it out:
