in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

Dear steemians,

Today, I want to share with you, my secret recipe for a good detox before Christmas!

More than a few days before Christmas and like every year we will eat and drink too much! 😵😵😵
For a detox before or after the holidays, nothing like a good smoothie with red berries! Today, my star ingredient is raspberry!
Why? Because it is succulent and full of health benefits!

Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, raspberries are a delicious fruit with many health benefits. They have a high concentration of ellagic acid, a phenolic compound that prevents cancer, thereby stopping the growth of cancer cells and eliminating the progress of cancers.

10 Health Benefits of Raspberry:

  • Rich in Anti-Oxidant
  • Rich in Vitamins A, B, C
  • Boost Immune System
  • Regulate Blood Sugar
  • Burns fat
  • Increase Red Blood Cells
  • Maintains a Healthy Heart
  • Anti-Aging
  • Anti-Inflammatory
  • Prevents Cancer

You can eat raspberries in different forms (oil, cooked, liquid). My advice is to consume this berry, raw. Thus, it keeps all these properties and its health benefits! Here is one of my smoothie recipes with raspberry!

My Christmas red smoothie recipe

(for 4 people)

♡ 1 cup of raspberries
♡ 2 apples
♡ 1 pomegranate
♡ 1 persimmon (kaki)
♡ 40 goji berries
♡ 2 cups of water (or vegetable milk)

Optional:
♡ 1/3 seed mixture
(chia, flaxseed, sunflower, squash, sesame)

Preparation

Step 1: Wash all the fruits well! Very important to remove all pesticides and chemicals ...

Step 2: Cut the fruit into pieces (the size depends on the power of your blender). Mine is powerful, it even cuts chia seeds, so I can put large pieces of fruit.

Step 3: Put the fruits, berries, seeds and water or vegetable milk in the blender. Mix until you get a perfect smoothie. The texture depends on your preferences (more or less liquid according to taste).

Step 4: Pour into a smoothie drink and enjoy!

You can also add ice cubes for a cool smoothie.

I let you try this recipe and tell me what you think! ;)

I hope you enjoyed reading this article. See you soon for a new recipe!

Oh. Great photo. I love it.

Thanks a lot!!! ;)

Never thought of adding a mixture of seeds to my smoothies. Does it make it gritty or have a funny texture?

In truth, I do not feel it in my smoothie because I am lucky to have the "Vitamix", which is a super powerful mixer. He cuts even the seeds of chia !!! So we do not really feel the taste of the seeds and the texture is just a little thicker than if you do not put some. If you do not have a very powerful blender, you can put the seeds at the top of your smoothie, it's an option. It's a matter of taste;) Try and tell me what you think.

I'm sure it's healthy and incredibly tasty! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks @hiroyamagishi for your nice comment!!! ;)

i agree with you Hiro . awesome drinking
@flamingirl

This is such a great smoothie idea, I have always loved the idea of smoothies and what they can do for people. Adding goji berries and chia seeds is still something I have not done yet but I'm gonna have to give it a try soon!

It's two foods are extraordinary! I will think about writing an article on it ;)! In truth, I do not feel it in my smoothie because I am lucky to have the "Vitamix", which is a super powerful mixer.

Great post, no idea how you get all the enhanced graphics and styles (which look great) into a post on here, but I'm learning.... ps I've nominated you for a black and white photography challenge thing as I like your photos and you have similar interests to mine, hope that's ok! Rob

Hi Rob! I take pictures at home (indoor or outdoor depending on the brightness). I only use my phone (Samsung galaxy S7) and I do not add any filters. I spend only time for the decoration, the background, the colors of the objects ... I hope to have soon better material because for the moment it is very basic ;). Thank you for the nomination, I will look at this more closely :). See you soon! Marie

Looks delicious...❤️

Thanks a lot! ;)

Good Post

Thanks a lot! ;)

Wow great I have been searching for a detox drink this has really been helpful. Thanks for sharing this

That looks great! too bad this kind of persimmon is so expensive in Israel - I understand it has less calories in it and to my personal taste it is better than the usual smaller one.

Khaki is expensive in Israel ??? I thought this fruit was cheaper because it is grown at home too! How much does a persimmon cost in Israel? Here in Spain it is between 0.5 euros and 1.5 euros the persimmon. As it's big, I buy 1 or 2 from time to time, depending on the season and it's super good! it gives me an idea of an article by the way, thank you;)

this kind of persimmon cost 14 ILS per KG which is 3.3 euro.
the usual kind of persimmon costs about 1.6 euro per KG.
you mention the price per unit?! so it super expensive in spain...

I soooo need that smoothie right now! I have been so bad eating cookies (while baking) and quick to make foods. I had some raspberries in oatmeal this am. Your smoothie looks yummy and refreshing. I like all the ingredients.

it must be very delicious

Thanks a lot !

When you do not know English and thanks to Google translator, you learn a new recipe ...

Thanks to google translator! ;)

Yummmmmmm!

;)!

Handmade milkshake :))) But I guess I will go to the café instead of making it :D

Kaki, raspberries and pomegranate in a glass.. yes please! Happy Holidays

Wow, I cannot wait to try this! I am such a health freak and the holidays just have so many temptations. I really enjoyed reading all of the health benefits of these magical berries. From your post it sounds like you created this reciepe yourself, how did you do that?

This is how i feel, I want to be healthy... but like... cake <3

Yes it is me who writes this story. I like to document myself on nutrition and healthy foods in particular. Thanks to my research, I know the benefits of the foods I use and I present one from time to time. I love it, because it allows me to have a kind of cookbook and I share at the same time, it's great!
