Miracle drink is found to be one of the best ways to cleanse your gut or detox the body. It’s not just full of goodness due to the apple, beetroot and carrots combination (aka miracle combo!), but it also tastes delicious. Since I am guilty of being picky with detox smoothies and juices, miracle drink works really well for me owing to its taste. This drink has a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors that helps me stay consistent in drinking it regularly.
Normally miracle drinks are made using a combination of apple, beetroot and carrots, but I also add two other ingredients to it- fresh turmeric and lime juice. The health benefits of turmeric are widely known owing to the presence of “curcumin” that has proven anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While eating turmeric in any form is beneficial, fresh turmeric is like one of the best ways. However, fresh turmeric’s taste may not always be a crowd favorite (at least not mine!). And so I add fresh turmeric to my miracle drink since its taste gels well with others and gets subtle (and bearable for me!).
I also add lime to my miracle drink since it gives that perfect kick of tanginess along with loads of Vitamin C. Lime and granny smith or green apple helps to cut the sweetness from carrots and beetroot; thereby providing a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. However, you can use any apple of your choice.
So here I share my version of miracle drink in the form of both- smoothie and juice. I also share how to make miracle juice with and without a juicer mixer grinder. Depending on your texture preference, you can either drink it as a smoothie or juice. I personally prefer smoothie over juice, but either ways it is still loaded with all the goodness. Do try it and let us know if you like it or not. Also let us know if you like to add anything else to your miracle drink.
