Why Plums Are a Powerhouse for Detox
Plums are a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like potassium. They’re loaded with dietary fiber and powerful antioxidants that support overall wellness. For centuries, plums have been used in traditional remedies to improve digestion, promote hydration, and rejuvenate internal organs—especially the liver. This drink harnesses the goodness of plums in a quick and convenient way.
Ingredients
For the Plum Drink:
- 8–10 ripe plums (450g / 1 lb)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Plums
- Start by thoroughly washing the plums under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Slice the plums in half and remove the pits. (Refer to Image 1 for guidance if needed.)
