Green Smoothie Detox Recipe As Featured On ABC

Here’s the recipe for the green detox smoothie featured on ABC News this morning. It’s supposed to be especially good for cleansing the liver, while the cilantro in particular is thought to help draw heavy metals out of the body. With all the fresh raw fruit and vegetables, this detox smoothie is loaded with vitamins, phytonutrients (such as chlorophyll) and fiber. It’s also very easy to make since all you’ll need is a blender. Drink one large glass every morning as an everyday cleanse for the body, or as part of a healthy juicing diet.
