Yes---drinking detox ingredients in the form of a smoothie or juice is fun, but it's really even more fun in the form of a mocktail----which can be served during gatherings and parties and a healthier option.

What is a Detox?

By dictionary definition, Detox is the psychological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from the human body. Therefore, detoxes like this one helps your body to reset and get rid of toxins (which can be built up by many factors internally and externally) so that we can feel rejuvenated, improve our health, and help with weight loss.

Here’s what you need for this detox, no-alcohol recipe:

Celery juice or actual Celery. For a nice refreshing green flavor and is a great source of antioxidants.
Lime juice. This perks up the richness of the other ingredients and adds a nice acidity.
Pineapple juice. Again, I like to purchase organic unsweetened pineapple juice.
Coconut water. I like the neutral taste of coconut water along with it's aide in hydration.
Honey. You could also use Agave or maple syrup or omit the sweetener altogether.

Other Great Ways to Detox.

Despite the misconception, there are many ways to detox your whole body which don’t always require making your own recipe of drinks and teas.

When it comes to natural home remedies, we often think that taking little steps won’t eventually bring us to the major milestones that we hope for. However, truth is–every big milestone occurs after several mini steps.

Why Add Thyme? Is There a Benefit?

Although thyme is a common garden herb, many people don’t understand the overall health benefits of using it in recipes such as a drink like this one. Thyme run in the mint family and acts as a great anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant agent.

Therefore, adding this herb to other beneficial ingredients will only create a greater powerhouse effect!

I’m all about big, edible garnishes in my mocktails. Here’s what I like to add to glasses for a fancier feel:

Fresh pineapple chunks. If you prefer a nice pronounced pineapple flavor, I would grill or char them.
Lime wedges. You can always slice the lime thin or into thick wedges for a fun look.
Fresh thyme sprigs. You could also use fresh parsley, mint or basil leaves for an added herby touch if preferred.
Celery stalks. If you prefer a nice look to your mocktails that show off the use of celery.
