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
Boost Immune System
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!

Never thought of adding a mixture of seeds to my smoothies. Does it make it gritty or have a funny texture?

In truth, I do not feel it in my smoothie because I am lucky to have the "Vitamix", which is a super powerful mixer. He cuts even the seeds of chia !!! So we do not really feel the taste of the seeds and the texture is just a little thicker than if you do not put some. If you do not have a very powerful blender, you can put the seeds at the top of your smoothie, it's an option. It's a matter of taste;) Try and tell me what you think.

This is such a great smoothie idea, I have always loved the idea of smoothies and what they can do for people. Adding goji berries and chia seeds is still something I have not done yet but I'm gonna have to give it a try soon!
