Apples – have high amounts of pectin which is a fiber that attaches to heavy metals and cholesterol in the body and helps cleanse the intestines. Apples are popular in detox recipes because they are high in fiber and water and have been found to support weight loss
Carrots – a good source of carotenoid, which acts as an antioxidant and helps in detoxifying your system
Banana – have antiviral and antifungal properties that can help promote healthy gut flora, and their fiber helps to support daily detoxification by sweeping the intestines clean
Coconut Milk – high in potassium, which can flush out excess water from your body
Coconut Oil – is a saturated fat that can help restore lost vitamins, minerals and nutrients and helps eliminate excess sugar from the body; is thought to metabolize in the liver making it readily accessible as an energy source; can help prevent digestive and nutritional diseases
