Celebrate with a Juice
There is always a cause for celebration. Be it an annual date such as a festive event, a birthday, anniversary or the like. Perhaps each week you like to take a moment and reflect on what has been and acknowledge achievements and progress or joys that have been experienced.
So, the question is. What is your celebratory beverage of choice? A coffee martini, a wholesome hot cup of chai, a spritzer, a gin and tonic and of course the list is endless. We could also discuss delicious foods that go along with a little celebration, but we can keep that for another time!
At Spa Wellness Travel we’ve revamped with a ‘new look ~ new you’ vibe, so that is what we are celebrating. To assist we asked the award winning Absolute Sanctuary in Koh Samui, Thailand if they could provide us alternatives to an alcoholic beverage to celebrate with.
Their dedicated Vitamin Bar has a menu that includes Juices, Smoothies, Super Juices (incorporating Organic Superfood supplements, Power Blast Shakes (incorporating Organic Golden Pea Protein Powder) and Detox Drinks. And when staying at Absolute Sanctuary most of their dedicated programs include two fresh juices or smoothies a day.
These drinks are delicious and offer a punch of benefits:

Benefits
This simple-to-make drink packs in all the goodness that is derived from oranges. Calcium in the citrus fruit builds healthy bones. It is high Vitamin B6 content supports the production of haemoglobin and the folate in the fruit prevents anaemia by promoting healthy red blood cells. This is the drink to take before or after a detox regime as it flushes out toxins from the liver and gall bladder.
