Many weight loss plans often contain detox drinks that look anything but appetizing, but there are some healthy, nutritious detox drinks that actually taste good too! Believe it or not, detox drinks don’t have to be about weight loss alone. In fact, I use many of these to relief IBS symptoms, headaches, and even muscle pain. Juicing fruits and vegetables is like giving your body liquid gold. While I don’t suggest serving juice instead of meals, I do believe detox drinks can support your body on a nutritious level. Try some of these detox drinks that taste good and help you feel great! I have more energy, better digestion, and feel so much cleaner when I consume them than extra coffee to keep me going!
