Starting your day with something healthy has an array of benefits. While lemon water does the trick of keeping you fit and fine, you may have gotten bored by the taste of it. Don’t fret there are several other drinks to keep you safe and sound. This summer, opt for detoxifying colourful drinks and enjoy better sleep, less stress, clearer skin, improved energy, and digestion.

Check out five detoxifying healthy green drinks you must try this summer.

Lemon Cucumber Smoothie

This string green smoothie is one of the healthiest health drinks you could come across. While mint both detoxifies the blood and reduces bloating, lemon flushes out the harmful toxins from one’s body. Cucumber keeps you hydrated. Add in a ginger slice and not only will you add some twist to the taste but will also make it healthier.

Cherry Kale Smoothie

While the smoothie may look red in colour because of the luscious cherries, the main ingredient is Kale. Kale is not only beneficial for liver detox, but it also contains vitamin c and fiber for hydrating and detoxifying your digestive system. Add a handful of chia seeds and a spoonful of lemon juice to up the health quotient.

Blueberry Smoothie

The amazing lavender colour of blueberries will make you asking for more. The added ingredients including mango, spinach, and the delicious almond milk make it a nutrient powerhouse. Blend in some ice to enjoy this deliciously healthy drink cold.

Strawberry Smoothie

If you simply love strawberries and cannot get enough of them, this smoothie is just for you. Strawberries are loaded with vitamin c making it the ultimate health drink. Added ingredients like spinach, Kale, banana, cucumber and almond milk make it a complete breakfast meal.

Orange Radish Smoothie

The goodness of oranges, a leafy green, and radishes in one drink makes it a must have. Fresh ginger, mint, and chia seeds only add on to the benefits of this fantastic drink. Make sure you try this one out.
