Dear steemians,
Today, I want to share with you, my secret recipe for a good detox before Christmas!
More than a few days before Christmas and like every year we will eat and drink too much! 😵😵😵
For a detox before or after the holidays, nothing like a good smoothie with red berries! Today, my star ingredient is raspberry!
Why? Because it is succulent and full of health benefits!
Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, raspberries are a delicious fruit with many health benefits. They have a high concentration of ellagic acid, a phenolic compound that prevents cancer, thereby stopping the growth of cancer cells and eliminating the progress of cancers.

10 Health Benefits of Raspberry:
- Rich in Anti-Oxidant
- Rich in Vitamins A, B, C

- Regulate Blood Sugar
- Burns fat
- Increase Red Blood Cells
- Maintains a Healthy Heart
- Anti-Aging
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Prevents Cancer
You can eat raspberries in different forms (oil, cooked, liquid). My advice is to consume this berry, raw. Thus, it keeps all these properties and its health benefits! Here is one of my smoothie recipes with raspberry!
My Christmas red smoothie recipe
(for 4 people)
♡ 1 cup of raspberries
♡ 2 apples
♡ 1 pomegranate
♡ 1 persimmon (kaki)
♡ 40 goji berries
♡ 2 cups of water (or vegetable milk)
Optional:
♡ 1/3 seed mixture
(chia, flaxseed, sunflower, squash, sesame)
Preparation
Step 1: Wash all the fruits well! Very important to remove all pesticides and chemicals ...
Step 2: Cut the fruit into pieces (the size depends on the power of your blender). Mine is powerful, it even cuts chia seeds, so I can put large pieces of fruit.
Step 3: Put the fruits, berries, seeds and water or vegetable milk in the blender. Mix until you get a perfect smoothie. The texture depends on your preferences (more or less liquid according to taste).
Step 4: Pour into a smoothie drink and enjoy!
You can also add ice cubes for a cool smoothie.
I let you try this recipe and tell me what you think! ;)
I hope you enjoyed reading this article. See you soon for a new recipe!
