Detox drinks for Holi: With splashes and pops of color around every corner, the aura is bursting with gourmet and happiness. The festival of colors is not just about colors and pichkari, but also tasty indulgences. From gujiyas, dahi bhalle, to kanji and all other traditional house dishes, Holi is one of the biggest festivals celebrated with much fanfare in India and not to forget the delicious cuisine that one can enjoy. And like any other great Indian festival, sweets and namkeens take over the day and most of us say: ‘aaj bahut zyada khaliya… (We have eaten too much today)”, and quite rightly too. So after a day of wolfing down food, drink, and playing with colors, it’s important for the body to detoxify. The cooked holiday staples tend to cause fatigue, bloating, and sluggishness.
Therefore, here are 6 detox drinks to boost your energy levels after Holi. Easy Homemade Refreshing Drinks to Try:
1. An explosion of berries
Pick and chop your favorite berries like strawberries, blueberries, etc., add a pinch of salt, lemon juice and mix well with water. Serve cold or at room temperature. Berries are rich in antioxidants and also help protect cells. They also help improve blood sugar.
