Green Tea Detox Drinks for Cleansing & Weight Loss

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

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

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

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.

Tips To Survive When You’re Sleepy at Work ! Easy as 1,2,3 ...

1. Get moving

Do some stretches or walk around. Stay away from your computer for a while. If you work from home, it’s nice to get out of your home office and breath some fresh air. Then come back again when you feel rejuvenated. You can also do some stretches. This way, you’re waking up your body and it gets you ready for the tasks ahead.

Sitting all day is not healthy and encourages drowsiness. If you’re not used to physical exercises, small movements or stretches can give you an energy boost.

2. Watch what you eat

There are some foods that help you sleep. Be wary of the times you eat these. Also, don’t overeat during lunch as this tends to make you feel sleepy after lunch. Finish your meal as soon as you feel satisfied. Eating until you’re fully stuffed is not only unhealthy but it induces sleepiness.

3. Toothpaste with peppermint

Brush your teeth with peppermint toothpaste. Peppermint is a natural stimulant which makes you stay alert.
