Cheers: The best detox drinks
Isn't that lovely? Finally, it's bright again in the morning when getting up, and the first crocuses are already cautiously poking their heads out of the ground. That really makes you crave spring! For us, that means colorful and healthy drinks that boost metabolism and chase away the winter blues with plenty of vitamins. To get the most out of the healthy fruits and vegetables, a juicer is truly worth its weight in gold. It's amazing what you can put through it. And the leftovers can be dried and used perfectly as a base for vegetable broth. All in the spirit of sustainability. Despite all the health benefits, for us, enjoyment and fun always come first when it comes to nutrition. The latter definitely isn't lacking when experimenting with the juicer. And it's also surprising how good the results can taste. That makes it easy to integrate such a healthy routine into everyday life.
