When your gut is healthy, everything else feels a little easier — digestion improves, your energy stabilizes, and even your mood gets a lift. But with processed food, stress, and inconsistent habits, toxins can quietly build up in your digestive system. If you’re looking for a gentle way to reset, this simple, fruit-based detox blend might be just what your body needs.
What You’ll Need
- A handful of prunes
- A handful of raisins
- 500 ml of water
- 1 ripe pear
- 2 ripe kiwis
How to Make the Detox Blend
1. Chop the prunes into smaller pieces and place them in a small pot.
2. Add the raisins and pour in the 500 ml of water.
3. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes.
4. Once cooked, strain the liquid through a sieve — save both the juice and the softened fruit.
5. Blend the cooked prunes and raisins until smooth. This will be your base paste.
6. Separately, cut the pear and kiwis into chunks and add them to a blender.
7. Pour in the reserved juice and add two teaspoons of the prune-raisin paste.
8. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Refrigerate the drink and consume one glass with each meal for a week.
Why This Blend Supports Gut Health
This detox blend isn’t just tasty — it’s built from ingredients known to support digestion and encourage gentle cleansing:
- Prunes: Known for their natural laxative effect, prunes promote regular bowel movements without being harsh.
- Raisins: Rich in antioxidants and fiber, they help reduce inflammation and nourish your gut microbiome.
- Pears: A fiber powerhouse, pears help sweep waste through the colon efficiently.
- Kiwis: High in vitamin C and digestive enzymes, kiwis can soothe inflammation and support immune health.
Together, these fruits form a soothing combination that hydrates, nourishes, and stimulates the digestive tract — without the aggressive purging of harsher detox plans.
Simple Habits to Support a Clean Gut
Pairing this recipe with a few daily habits will help you feel the full benefits:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day — hydration is key to moving waste through the gut.
- Avoid excessive sugar and processed food, which can disrupt your gut flora.
- Eat more whole fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi.
- Move your body regularly — walking, yoga, or gentle stretching stimulates digestion.
- Prioritize rest — a relaxed nervous system supports a healthy gut-brain connection.
