Creamy Detox Latte

Here's another recipe from the 7 day Cleanse.  It's super yummy and as you can see from the photo I drank some before taking this picture.  It does make a full glass.  I make a pot of detox tea ahead of time in summer and store it in the fridge to make this a cold drink.
​Ingredients:

• ​1 detox tea bag
• 6 oz. (180 ml) spring or filtered water
• 6 oz. (180 ml) unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice (coconut, hemp, almond, rice)
  
• 1 Tbs. coconut oil
  
• 1 serving protein powder of choice (vegan, whey or hemp seeds)
  
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  
• 1 date, pitted
  

Method:

1. ​Steep the tea bag in 6 oz. of hot water for 3-5 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bag and add the tea to a blender along with all other ingredients.
   
3. Blend until well blended and smooth.
   
4. Sip and enjoy.
   

Benefits:
​Detox teas contain herbs and spices that facilitate the liver to release toxins.  You can buy a store bought tea or make your own from a range of herbs such as ginger, turmeric, dandelion, chicory, fennel, licorice, peppermint, milk thistle, and celery leaf.

​The coconut oil provides a good source of healthy fat which gives it a creaminess and richness while assisting with toxin removal by acting as a carrier for toxins to bind to.
