Often we start or end our Sunday wishing we slept better on Saturday, ate healthier during the weekend or thinking about starting a new diet on Monday. Thats why this Sunday I will share with you an easy and delicious recipe that will help detoxify and revitalize your body, and begin the week with a healthy attitude.
This Berries & Apple Shake is made with natural ingredients that have many beneficial and healthy properties.
Apple: rich in fiber, refreshing and hydrating. Eating apples is recommended for having a healthy skin, cases of anemia and intestinal problems .
Berries: rich in antioxidants and diuretic properties. They are very good for the metabolism.
Kale: high in vitamins, minerals and fiber, and low in calories, carbohydrates and sodium. Kale has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps detoxify the body and lowers cholesterol.
Remember that making juices, shakes and smoothies with natural ingredients is a quick, easy and delicious way to get the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables. They also help with strengthening, purifying and detoxifying our bodies. Therefore, if this week you want to eat healthier but you don't have the time to be chopping fruits and vegetables to make a juices in the mornings, you could spend a little time this Sunday prepping bags with the ingredients and freezing them.
