Mornings are a fresh start, a chance to set intentions for the day, practice mindfulness and prepare our bodies for a healthy day ahead. Starting your day with a big glass of room temperature lemon water is great for detox and PH balance.
It’s also great to practice intermittent fasting and hold off a little longer before eating the first meal of the day (10-12 hours is a great rule of thumb for an overnight fast). When you are ready to break the fast, reaching for a big green smoothie is an excellent choice. This morning detox smoothie is loaded with vitamins, minerals and macro nutrients to power your day in the best way.
