We don't often think about it, but actually the functioning of the human body is really amazing. Your body is perfectly capable of removing waste and cleaning itself. So special!

But… after the holidays (a period of aperitifs and good food in abundance) you can give your body a helping hand in the cleansing process. If you eat fresher and more consciously, your body will receive the right nutrients to function properly.

I'll get you started with a recipe for a delicious detox smoothie. This matcha smoothie with apple, banana, lemon and mint is not only super tasty, it also contains a large dose of antioxidants.

Antioxidants protect your body against free radicals, which are aggressive substances that cause damage in the body. This smoothie also gives you a huge boost in the morning for an energy-rich day!
