This is one of the best chilled soups I've ever tasted, and it's really healthy too.  Summer is a great time to detox , and this delightful chilled cucumber avocado soup is a delicious way to do it. The simple soup contains specific healthy ingredients that can help increase your body's alkalinity and help eliminate toxins that may clog your liver. The soup is very easy to make, tasty , and so so refreshing! The Avocado makes it creamy, the cucumber makes it light, the red onion gives it flavor, the lemon and apple cider vinegar make it a slightly tangy and cayenne gives it a little kick! It serves as a quick snack or a mid afternoon pick me up after a day's work. The nutrients and healthy fats are energizing, and it only takes 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish. Personally, I sometimes leave out the cayenne and  drink it for breakfast like a green smoothie. If I want even more greens, I add a leaf of kale or spinach! I found this recipe on Dr. Axe's website ...

It's St. Patrick's Day and I want something green. There is nothing like a green smoothie to help detox, get rid of bloat, and energize the body! Green smoothies are easy to digest, are nourishing and a cinch to make. In honor of St. Patrick's Day in addition to wearing green, why not treat yourself to this delicious green detox!

I originally saw the recipe for this green detox smoothie  in the Nov 25 2013  issue of Woman' s World Magazine.  It was a great article about how t...

 Do you like beets?  Beets are one of nature's natural and potent detoxifiers.   The components of this bright red vegetable help provide an avenue for harmful toxins to be eliminated from the body. I've included a way to use raw beet for juicing to make a Beet Detox Drink and 5 of my favorite cooked beet recipes! After indulging during the holidays, I felt it was time to get back on track- adding more vegetables like beets to my diet, just makes sense to help detox  some of the bloat, toxins, and few extra pounds that I've accumulated.  To detox with beets : add a 1/4 fresh beet ( peeled) to your favorite fresh juice ( made in the juicer)  or add to a smoothie - remember : raw beets are potent, you don't need a lot. My Beet Detox Drink I sometimes juice using my juicer ( not a Bullet ) 2 -3 carrots, 2 stalks celery, 1/4 beet,  4 stalks romaine lettuce, 1/2 cucumber ( all organic) . Af...
