Making green tea detox drinks is a great way to boost your overall health and get the antioxidants you need each day. Green tea is packed with antioxidants, more so than any other tea, but its flavor can get a bit monotonous when you try drinking it daily for health. Try these recipes for a way to keep things interesting on the way to better health.
Green SmoothTea
This is a way to get both the benefits of a green smoothie, along with the benefits of green tea. You’re already getting antioxidants from the green tea, and this is amplified by the phytonutrients in the kale. The apple puts this over the top in terms of nutrition, and also adds some sweetness to the mix. The yogurt smooths it out so it tastes and feels like a smoothie, while providing protein to keep you feeling good for hours.
What You Need
1 cup Green Tea, brewed and chilled
1/2 cup Baby Kale
1/2 Apple
1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
Ice
1/2 cup Baby Kale
1/2 Apple
1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
Ice
Add all ingredients to your blender and blend until it reaches a smoothie consistency. To get an even greener hue you can add in an avocado, which will provide you with healthy fat, additional fiber, and extra potassium. But as it stands this is a healthy smoothie recipe that incorporates green tea in a tasty blend.
Tropical Green Tea Smoothie
Tropical fruits have a delicious taste to them and can seriously bump up the flavor of green tea, making you look forward to green tea time again. The wonderful thing about tropical fruit, aside from the flavor, is the nutrients they provide. Mango and papaya bring additional antioxidants to the table, while the banana is rich in potassium and adds fiber to the smoothie. The banana also helps give it the smooth consistency that is essential to any good smoothie.
What You Need
1 tsp Green Tea Matcha Powder
1/2 cup Fresh Mango
1/2 cup Papaya, cubed
1/2 medium Banana
1 cup Coconut Milk
1 handful Ice
1/2 cup Fresh Mango
1/2 cup Papaya, cubed
1/2 medium Banana
1 cup Coconut Milk
1 handful Ice
Add everything to your blender and blend away. Be sure to change this recipe up with the seasons and use what’s available at the time you have it. While it’s possible to get these fruits anytime of the year, it’s best to adjust with the seasons and buy what is most fresh at the store.
Green Tea “3 P” Fruit Juice
Green tea gets help from three high-powered flavorful fruits. They all happen to start with the letter p, so it’s easy to remember this tasty beverage whenever you want it again. The pear is adding fiber to the equation, while the papaya and pineapple bringing massive amounts of Vitamin C to your body. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect on the body, and when you combine that with the antioxidant makeup of green tea, you’ve got a very special drink that sets you up for a strong immune system, and protection from free radical damage.
What You Need
1 cup Green Tea, brewed
1/2 Pear, sliced
1/2 cup Pineapple, cubed
1/2 cup Papaya, cubed
1/2 Pear, sliced
1/2 cup Pineapple, cubed
1/2 cup Papaya, cubed
By cubing and slicing the fruit before adding it to the blender you make it easier for the blender to turn this into a juice. The trick with this recipe is to keep blending until there aren’t any chunks of fruit left. It should reach a juice consistency. If your blender isn’t up for the task you may want to strain it before drinking.
