Start the new year off right with this delicious and easy liver cleanse cocktail recipe. The perfect detox drink to filter toxins, metabolize fat and boost energy!
In the days between Christmas Eve and New Years Day, we bounced from house to house, dinner to dinner and bed to bed. We were in and out of the car more times than I can count. We ate way too much, drank way too much and slept way too little this holiday season. And despite the first week of January coming to a close, we're still paying for it.
While I wouldn't have it any other way, it's safe to say our bodies took a bit of a beating this holiday season.
Time to recuperate.

New year, new you. Am I right? I’m not one for resolutions, but one thing I want to do this year is take better care of my body. It’s time to flush out all of the bad junk and give myself a fresh start for 2017.
When my husband asked if I wanted to do a detox, my reaction was the same as every other time I hear that awful word - I immediately think of forcing myself to drink some awful tasting concoction and not being able to eat anything for a week. Why would I want to do that to myself?
This detox is not like that. I promise you. This one is different, he reassured me. And different it is.

Why do this liver cleanse?
Every person’s health and well-being is dependent on how their body removes toxins from the body, and one such way is through the liver. The liver is one of the hardest working organs in the body, and one you definitely want to take care of. It works tirelessly to detoxify the blood, produce the bile needed to metabolize fat and store essential vitamins and minerals, among other important functions. When our liver is not functioning optimally, you can gain weight, become bloated, constipated, moody and fatigued. You can't be a healthy you.
This liver cleanse cocktail will help rid the liver of harmful substances, and with the secret punch of vitamin B12, give you the energy boost you need to start your day.
What's the verdict?
As a new mom that often feels like she's running on empty thanks to the busiest baby on the planet, my usual go-to pick me up is coffee after coffee after coffee. We have now been drinking this cocktail first thing each morning for a week. The results were almost instantaneous. While I still enjoy my morning cup of coffee, it has become more of a 'want' than a 'need'. I immediately felt like I had more energy, and with this cocktail first thing in the morning, I no longer need coffee to get me going. Instead, I want a small cup because I enjoy it.
Thanks to actually feeling better with the help of this cocktail, the word detox is no longer a scary one.
Cheers to you in 2017!
Any goals or resolutions? I'd love to hear!
