If we're Facebook friends then by now you've noticed my many statuses about my regular consumption of detox tea. I drink tea daily... and I rotate which type of tea I have, depending on my mood. Some days I'm all over ginger-peach. Other days, its chai -- oh, how I love chai! But lately, I've been alternating between detox tea and senna tea. Senna tea is a mild laxative (hate to be gross but.. eh) and it helps keep me feeling "light" on the inside. (laughs) But, as much as I believe that detox tea is good for the boy... I really didn't find any that I enjoyed that much.
Until I found "get clean" by The Republic of Tea. I am a Republic of Tea fan thanks to their very wonderful and tasty ginger-peach tea. It is FABULOUS! But this detox tea is now my new favorite thing.
Seriously.
It has a mild flavor with a little hint of sweetness... sort of an almond flavor to it. It is rooibos tea with milk thistle and dandelion to cleanse the liver. Its supposed to have a ton of anti-oxidants and all other yummy, good-for-you stuff in it. But what I can tell you is that with just a smidge of agave nectar, it is absolutely refreshing. I really can't describe it, but I just feel... better after a couple of days of drinking this tea.
The road to eating clean(er) and healthy(er) for me is a very bumpy one. I like yummy food. I like having an "adult beverage" somewhat regularly - including wine, martinis, margaritas and other tasty concoctions. I like fried chicken and sweets like donuts, and cake and pies. In other words... I constantly struggle with balancing eating well, with indulging in what I like and what brings me comfort. Even after reading so much information about what's in our foods and how different things affect our body and our health... sometimes... a donut just whispers my name. Or one of those soft pretzels from the mall. *hangs head in shame... yes, I had one the other day*
So, to balance my up and down eating habits -- I do eat lots of yogurt, fresh fruit, and vegetables -- I drink my teas. If you're looking for a detox tea to try, I highly recommend trying the "get clean" by The Republic of Tea. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Oh, be sure to read the label and know that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in this product. I've read about some people having allergies to milk thistle. And, due to the inclusion of the almond flavor, this is not a product for people with nut allergies.
