Detox juices are here to stay. All over the net, they are touted as your weight loss trigger, nutrition booster, internal cleanser, whatever! Though they are easy to prep, detox juices have this tendency to get boring, I mean a chunk of veggies pureed in the blender with water! What else? 

At Khyra we don’t think so! Throw the monotony out the window and welcome our detox juice recipes! Yep we got you covered with over 20 great tasting juice recipes made with local ingredients. So no more balking at the thought of swallowing another glass of I’m-tired-of-this-stuff juice

These juices are supercharged with bioavailable vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and fibre. To make the most of your weight loss efforts, take the juices after your hot water therapy and then last thing at night. You’ll soon see surprising fat loss all over your body. Other healthful benefits include better digestion, faster metabolism, reduced blood sugar, clearer skin, the list goes on

Remember, use minimal fruit while prepping detox juices and yes! fresh is best. Buy fresh produce and use them quickly too. Endeavour to use a juicer for prepping your juice, though a blender, fine mesh sieve or muslin cloth will do just fine. ENJOY!

For all the ingredients listed, do wash thoroughly in water removing dirt and cut into small sizes before juicing. If a recipe is too bitter, you can add a small chunk of apple or pineapple.
