TOP 20 Detox Smoothies To Help You Lose Weight

We pulled together this collection of smoothie recipes with you in mind. Yes, you. Whether you want to lose weight, maintain your current weight or gain weight, there’s a smoothie for everyone. Most of our smoothies are designed to help you lose weight, but if you want to gain you can still use our recipes. You’ll just have to substitute full fat ingredients for low-fat ingredients. Or add protein powder.

The point is, it is never a bad idea to put healthy things in your body. It is never a bad idea to get your full servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Smoothies help you do that, and more. But more on that in a minute.

Health Benefits of Smoothies

We did a lot of research on food, how it behaves in your body, what it does for your body, and how it interacts with other food.

If you know the health benefits of each fruit, vegetable, and base you can get creative. So after you try each of our recipes you might get adventurous and tinker with them. Tinkering is fun.

In fact, we strongly urge you to talk to your doctor before you make any drastic diet or lifestyle changes. That’s just good common sense.

Toxins build up in the human body, causing the body to malfunction. If you’ve noticed your skin breaking out more than usual, an increase in the frequency of heartburn, or if you’re feeling tired and sluggish, it could be because you have an overload of toxins in your body. Of course, any new health symptom should be discussed with your doctor, but as more doctors are aware of how diet affects the body, they might suggest that you clean up the way you eat. In a word, maybe it’s time to detox.

Here is a quick summary:

Add your ingredients in this order:

Liquids

Semisolids

Fruit

Frozen Fruit

Ice

When blending start slow and wait until the ingredients are circulating easily and then increase power for about 45 seconds. If you want a lighter smoothie with more air, let it blend on high for another 45 seconds. Enjoy.

Detox Smoothies  Recipes

1. Avocado Sunrise

AVOCADO is high in both insoluble and soluble fiber. This is perfect for cleansing the colon and carrying toxins out of the body. Its high fiber content also makes it a good food to lower HDL cholesterol.

INGREDIENTS

½ avocado
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
½ cup frozen strawberries
1 banana
¼ cup ice

2. Sneaky Watermelon

LEMON helps the liver by stimulating the release of enzymes, and watermelon has a high concentration of water.

INGREDIENTS

2 leaves organic romaine lettuce
1 banana
1 cup watermelon
1 tablespoon lemon juice

3. Classic Green Detox Smoothie

KALE is loaded with fiber, and an apple a day truly can keep the doctor away. The ginger root keeps your stomach calm while it digests all that fiber, but make sure you drink plenty of water!

INGREDIENTS

4 leaves kale
1 apple
1 banana
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ cup water

4. Happy Day Green Smoothie

DANDELIONS help break down fat, and parsley is a natural diuretic that helps the body eliminate toxins gently. Cranberries help to fight bacteria in the kidneys, urinary tract, and bladder, and blueberries are loaded with antioxidants.

INGREDIENTS

¼ cup fresh parsley
¼ cup dandelion greens
¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup cranberries
½ cup water
1 small apple

5. Simple Smoothie Detox

GRAPEFRUIT contains lycopene—a powerful antioxidant that may help prevent cancer. It also helps to reduce bad cholesterol by helping keep arteries clear. Apple helps remove metals from your system and, in addition to being full of fiber, helps purify the kidneys and liver.

INGREDIENTS

½ whole red grapefruit
½ apple
1 banana
1 cup dandelion greens
¼ cup water

6. Glowing Skin Smoothie

ANTIOXIDANTS found in berries can help counter free-radical damage, which also helps your skin fight the aging process. Berries also aid in controlling blood sugar, and the flax and avocado contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the skin and also help fight inflammation.

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons wheat germ
½ avocado
7 strawberries
½ cup cherries
½ cup blueberries
4 ice cubes

7. Blue and Red Detox Smoothie

RAW RED CABBAGE is a cancer-fighting food full of vitamin A and beta-carotene. The chia seeds are full of good fats, while the blueberries are packed with antioxidants.

INGREDIENTS

6 ounces water
2 teaspoons chia seeds, soaked
2 bananas
1 cup blueberries
2 cups chopped raw red cabbage

8. Green and Orange Goodness

PARSLEY helps flush the kidneys, plus it supports liver functions. Mango helps cleanse the colon, and the orange juice makes it all taste sunny and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh parsley
1 large mango
1 cup ice
6 ounces orange juice

9. Roma Detox

TOMATOES contain lycopene, which is a cancer fighter, and the dandelion greens are great for breaking down fat and releasing bile from the gallbladder. Bye bye bile.

1 cup dandelion greens
3 Roma tomatoes
1½ cups water

10. Pomberry Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mixed frozen berries
½ cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
½ cup water

11. Kale Green Smoothie

KALE IS RECOGNIZED for providing support for the body’s detoxification system. Research has shown that isothiocyanates made from kale’s glucosinolates can help regulate detox at a genetic level. A bunch of big words that mean kale does a body good.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup firmly packed, stems removed kale or collard greens
½ Granny Smith apple
1 ripe banana
¼ cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup water

12. South Seas Smoothie

Just like regular water, COCONUT WATER helps detox your body by flushing out harmful bacteria and keeping you hydrated. Coconut water helps you stay hydrated because it’s an excellent source of electrolytes, and one 8.5-ounce serving has fifteen times more potassium than most sports drinks. Potassium is one of the electrolytes that helps your body replace and retain the fluids needed to operate most efficiently.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mango chunks
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup unsweetened coconut water
Pinch of cayenne powder

13. Orange Double-Berry Smoothie

CITRUS FRUITS are very acidic, and acidic fruits are excellent for helping the body detox. Oranges, while being acidic, are also high in vitamin C, and the fiber they provide is necessary for healthy elimination.

INGREDIENTS

1 navel orange
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen raspberries
¼ cup water

14. Green Dew Mint Smoothie

CUCUMBERS work as a detox aid, facilitating excretion of wastes through the kidneys, thus avoiding the body’s need to purge waste through the skin. In other words, cucumbers are good for your healthy skin, too.

INGREDIENTS

¼ cucumber, peeled
1 cup honeydew melon
½ cup pear juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
⅛ cup fresh mint leaves

15. Tummy Buddy Smoothie

GINGER helps speed up your circulation, promoting healthy sweating and supporting liver function, therefore helping your body in its efforts to detoxify.

INGREDIENTS

¾ cup papaya
¾ cup sliced peaches
½ pear
1 teaspoon peeled, grated ginger root
4 mint leaves
¼ cup water

16. Cinnamon Pear Sweetness

If you haven't tried the combination of pears and cinnamon, you are missing out; they are one of nature’s great flavor combos, with the “sweet” benefit of being good for you. Pears are high in fiber and “sweep” the body, cleaning the colon to allow the body easier cleansing and elimination. Cinnamon may prevent the accumulation of some fats.

INGREDIENTS

2 pears
½ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey

17. Green Tea Goodness

GREEN TEA contains bioflavonoids. Flavonoids are antioxidants, responsible for the many health benefits of green tea. They are potent free-radical scavengers, which help detoxify the body and eliminate the damage done by the free radicals. Besides being a wonderful detox aid, a touch of molasses adds sweetness to this smoothie!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup frozen white grapes
1 cup fresh baby spinach
6 ounces strong brewed green tea, cooled
½ medium avocado
1 teaspoon molasses

1 cup cherries
1 medium orange
2 tablespoons walnuts
⅓ avocado
1 cup fresh spinach
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon honey (optional)


19. Tropical Detox Smoothie

CILANTRO has been used as a general detoxifying remedy for years and has been found to chelate (remove) heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, and lead from the body. In fact, it is believed to cross the blood-brain barrier and actually remove those metals from the brain.

INGREDIENTS

Small handful cilantro, with stems
Handful of fresh baby spinach
⅓ cup chopped pineapple
1 small kiwifruit
½ banana
¾ cup water

20. Green Melon Sensation

INGREDIENTS

½ cantaloupe melon
2 kiwifruits
1 pear
Juice of ½ lime
¼ cup apple juice
