(Patria) - Besides joy and family gatherings, Christmas and New Year holidays also bring heavy food and many calories.

This is often why we feel heavy, sluggish and tired after them.

Fatty food makes us sluggish, and digestion and metabolism work slower. To avoid fatigue, try a detox trick with this juice.

Juice rich in fibre and ingredients that cleanse the body can refresh you and get you going. We bring you a simple recipe that will ease the period around the holidays, writes Chatelaine.

Ingredients: 2 cups kale, 2 cups spinach, 1/3 cucumber, ½ small apple, a piece of ginger, 1 frozen banana, juice of ½ lemon, 3 cups water.
