Cranberry Pomegranate Detox Fizz
[I created this festive Cranberry Pomegranate Detox Fizz for Earth Fare!]
The holiday season is coming at us full force, and with it comes A LOT of good eats. There’s basically a never-ending spread of food. Everywhere you look. At any given time of the day.
Dinners that take 2 days to cook, parties with snacks and apps galore, cookies in the office, and drinks, drinks, drinks.
It’s an amazing time of the year and we should enjoy every minute of it. But after a while it can start to take a toll on our bodies. That’s where this festive Cranberry Pomegranate Detox Fizz steps in.
Like a holiday detox superhero!
First off it’s tasty and completely holiday-esque so you won’t feel like you’re missing out (not even for a second).
But it’s also filled with things like pomegranate, cranberry, orange, and ginger to boost immunity and get our detox systems in tip-top shape.
The final (and semi-secret) ingredient that really bumps up this mocktail’s detoxifying power is Herb Pharm’s Liver Health herbal extract. It has dandelion, milk thistle, fennel seed and other powerful herbs with medicinal properties that give the liver a helping hand.
And it’s convenient—a gift in itself this time of year.
Our livers can always use a helping hand. But it’s a good idea to show some extra love around the holidays.
So make a toast to your health and don’t forget to give yourself a little extra love and attention this holiday season.
