Tasty Detox Smoothie

Whether you just spent the weekend partying or just came out a holiday food binge, your body is probably looking for equilibrium.  Sometimes, in order to do this, you just need to spend a few days detoxing.  I prefer to do it the natural way with whole foods, versus the detox in a box.
A really good and natural way to help cleanse your body is by drinking a detoxifying smoothie.

What you'll need:

  • high fiber fruit (such as an apple or pear)
  • citrus fruit (orange or lemon)
  • high fiber green (kale or spinach)
  • 1-2 tbs. of a high fiber grain (barley or oats)
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • jalepeno puree (optional for those who like a little kick)

What to do:

Chop up the apple or pear into smaller cubes, peel and separate the citrus, and remove kale leaves from the stem.  Combine all ingredients in a blender and liquefy.  Serve immediately, and enjoy!
