After a night of bliss, give your liver the support it needs to recover with this nutrient-rich morning-after liver support smoothie.

What you will need:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
• ½ frozen banana
• ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
• ½ cup cucumber, peeled and diced
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of your choice (optional)

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• ½ tsp BareOrganics Turmeric Powder (optional)
• A handful of ice cubes

Because these ingredients work miracles

Every ingredient in this smoothie is carefully chosen to help your body recover after a night of indulgence, especially supporting the liver:

BareOrganics Milk Thistle Powder

Known for its active compound, silymarin, milk thistle helps protect liver cells and promotes detoxification. It’s a natural way to give your liver some TLC after it’s been working overtime to process alcohol.

Lemon Juice

Rich in vitamin C, lemon juice is a natural detoxifier that can help stimulate liver function. It also aids digestion, helping you process food and drink more efficiently.

Frozen pineapple pieces

Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion and reduces inflammation. Its natural sweetness makes this smoothie a real delight even without the addition of refined sugar.

Cucumber

Cucumber is hydrating and rich in antioxidants, helping to eliminate toxins and rehydrate after a dehydrating night.

Freshly grated ginger

Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory that calms the stomach and helps the liver break down alcohol byproducts.

Turmeric powder (optional)

With its active ingredient curcumin, turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps reduce oxidative stress on the liver.

Banana

Bananas are rich in potassium, which can help restore electrolyte balance after dehydration caused by alcohol.

Unsweetened almond milk

A gentle, dairy-free base that won’t upset sensitive stomachs. Adds creaminess without adding heaviness.

Maple syrup (optional)

A touch of natural sweetness to balance the spicy and earthy flavors, without spiking your blood sugar like processed sugars might.

A new morning ritual

This smoothie isn’t just a post-party recovery tool; it’s a nutritious way to start each day. Its vibrant flavors and liver-supporting properties make it a go-to for keeping your body balanced and energetic, especially during the busy holiday season.

So, whip up this Morning After Liver-Support Smoothie and toast to a healthier, happier you, no matter how late last night was!
