Why These Ingredients Work:

  • Green tea: Packed with antioxidants, green tea can help reduce inflammation and support healthy liver function.
  • Berries: These little powerhouses are high in fiber and antioxidants, aiding digestion and potentially lowering bad cholesterol (LDL).
  • Banana: A good source of potassium, a mineral that can help regulate blood pressure.
  • Flaxseed: Rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed can promote healthy digestion and potentially lower cholesterol.
  • Spinach: This leafy green is a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals, including those that support liver health.
  • Avocado: Healthy fats in avocados can contribute to feelings of fullness and potentially lower LDL cholesterol.
  • Ginger (optional): Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can also aid digestion.

Tips and Variations:

  • For a creamier texture: Add a splash of almond milk or coconut milk.
  • Make it sweeter: Substitute a small chopped apple or a squeeze of honey for the berries if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • Boost the protein: Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder for an extra filling smoothie.
