Feeling sluggish and in need of a quick reset? The Citrus Cleanse Juice is here to help you detox, refresh, and brighten your day with its zesty, sweet, and tangy combination of lemon, orange, and apple. Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and digestion-friendly nutrients, this juice is your perfect pick-me-up when you need to feel light and energized.
Why This Juice Is the Ultimate Cleanse
Lemon and orange are citrus powerhouses loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and cleansing properties. They help flush out toxins and support your immune system. Apples add natural sweetness, fiber, and antioxidants to aid digestion and boost gut health. The combination is light, refreshing, and full of nutrients that your body will love.
What You’ll Need for This Zesty Blend
Simple ingredients for a quick detox:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 large oranges, peeled and segmented
- 1 medium apple, cored and sliced (green or red)
Optional: A small piece of fresh ginger for a spicy kick or a dash of cayenne pepper for metabolism support.
Why These Ingredients Work So Well Together
The tanginess of lemon and orange brightens the juice, while the apple adds natural sweetness to balance the flavors. Lemons bring detoxifying properties that cleanse the liver, oranges provide a refreshing burst of vitamin C, and apples make the juice smooth and naturally sweet without added sugars.
How to Make It
- Juice the lemon and set aside.
- Peel the oranges and core the apple.
- Run the oranges and apple through a juicer or blend them and strain if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice and any optional ingredients like ginger or cayenne.
- Pour over ice, give it a stir, and enjoy your refreshing citrus cleanse.
Why This Juice Supports Your Detox Goals
Lemon and orange act as natural cleansers, helping to flush out toxins and support liver function. Apples aid digestion and provide fiber to promote gut health, while the vitamin C in both the citrus fruits boosts your immune system and helps fight off free radicals. If you add ginger or cayenne, you’ll also get an extra kick that helps boost circulation and metabolism.
