👩🍳 The Easy Recipe
Prepare the ingredients
2 minPeel the clementines and remove as much of the white pith as possible (to avoid bitterness). Cut a piece of fresh ginger and peel it. Squeeze the half lemon. Rinse a few mint leaves if you want an even fresher note.
Mix and enjoy!
3 minPut the clementines in a blender or high-powered food processor, add the ginger, lemon juice, fresh water, mint, and turmeric if you like. Blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into tall glasses, add a straw or a slice of clementine, and enjoy your vitamin-packed detox smoothie! 🚀
🔥 Tips and delicious variations
- For a granita effect : Add a few ice cubes or replace the water with crushed ice just before blending. It's incredibly refreshing after a workout or for a healthy summer brunch. 🧊
- Immunity-boosting version : Add a pinch of turmeric or a little black pepper. It enhances the flavor and is perfect for helping your body face winter. 💪
- Kids' option : Replace the mint with a teaspoon of Corsican honey (ideal if children like mild flavors). But honestly, the smoothie is already naturally sweet!
- Craving protein? Add some plain yogurt or a handful of chia seeds for a richer, creamier version. 🥄
- No blender needed? No problem! Simply squeeze the clementines and whisk the juice with the grated ginger and water. You'll get a quick "detox juice," less creamy but super refreshing.
