CLEANSE AND DETOX WITH A COLON CLEANSE SMOOTHIE

COLON CLEANSE SMOOTHIE – APPLES, PLUMS AND CINNAMON

Cleanse and Detox with a Colon Cleanse Smoothie.  Detoxing is said to eliminate toxins from your body, improve health, and promote weight loss. As your body can eliminate toxins on its own through the liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs – only when these organs are healthy can they effectively do their jobs to eliminate unwanted substances

Here’s where detoxing smoothies come in. Simply blend up this nutrient and antioxidant filled drink and help your body boost the cleansing process. And it’s pretty darn tasty too 🙂
