Italian detox recipes: ginger‑lemon ice pops and fruit smoothies

A fruit smoothie called “Frullato sgonfia pancia” combines kiwi, apple, lemon juice, water, honey and ginger powder. The drink is promoted for its refreshing, diuretic and vitamin‑C properties and is suggested as a light, immune‑supporting option for any time of day.

A complementary recipe offers ginger‑lemon detox ice pops that can be prepared in about five minutes. The method uses cold‑pressed lemon‑ginger juice mixed with water and a sweetener such as honey or agave, optionally flavored with mint, basil or lemongrass, then frozen in molds. The pops can be stored for two to three months and are presented as a low‑calorie, hydrating summer snack.
