Blend up this simple combination of fruits and greens!

Raspberry Detox Smoothie - The Foodie Affair

Detox Smoothie

I sure enjoyed the holidays! It’s easy to get in the spirit when you’re in vacation mode for two weeks!

So enjoyable to bake first thing in the morning, eat cookies for breakfast, visit friends and family, and then have a few more cookies for lunch!  

Not only did I bake a-lot, but I also slept in and stayed in my pajamas until noon on some days.

Sometime days I worked out late afternoons or not at all.

It was nice, but after feeling completely lackadaisical most days, I learned that since I don’t have young ones to watch over, I prefer having a regular routine that gets me out of my house!

Otherwise, I have no time limit controls in place, and get in a zombie state spending too many hours watching shows like Millionaire Matchmaker.

Who gets sucked into shows like that?! Guilty!

I watched episode after episode and THEN started to wonder, uhhhh, at what point did I miss my opportunity to be a millionaire??

To clarify, even if I was still waiting for my Officer and Gentleman to enter my life, bucks or no bucks in the bank, I couldn’t fathom being interested in paying a woman looking for her own prince to find me a lifetime mate! …

BUT it sure would be nice to have the resources to toss money around in other ways, like jetting off in a private jet while drinking Cristal Champagne whenever I pleased!

Ok, see what happens when I get off my schedule, I start chatting about TV!

Back to reality, and back to the office I go with a Raspberry Detox Smoothie!

My body definitely worked overtime trying to process that extra sugar I enjoyed over the holidays. 

Anytime you want to reset your diet, I suggest going straight to the blender and mix up a smoothie.

I found this smoothie on Dr. Oz’s website (yep, watched that daytime show too!).

Dr. Oz suggests a 3 day detoxification plan, but I know that would be a method for failure for me.

I can sip on a couple of smoothies a day, but not as a replacement for all my meals, several days in a row!

Benefits of A Detox

Replenish your body by blasting it with whole foods. This smoothie tastes refreshing, and I plan on blending it up the next several mornings!

Including several nutritional benefits in smoothies you may also feel an energy boost!
