Carrots and mango make a refreshing and tasty detox smoothie.
Turns out the health benefits in just a 300-calorie serving of orange juice douse the rest of inflammation and the oxidising power of evil free radicals that flood your system after eating a 900-calorie, high-fat, high-carb meal. This detox smoothie also contains carrots which are rich in beta carotene, which the body processes into vitamin A. They’re also good for your eyesight and contains vitamins C, B3, B6, E and K as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, molybdenum and potassium. They are also a great source of dietary fibre. Need we say more?
