Author Notes
This bold cleansing combo blends up a sweet and musky flavor. Its glorious green ingredients are hydrating, detoxifying, and loaded with fiber and antioxidants to aid digestion, enhance bowel function, break
down toxins, and boost immunity. For a real mover, ramp up the flavor
and anti-inflammatory power with ginger and cayenne. —Tess Masters
