Nothing is quite like watermelon on a hot
summer day, which is the primary ingredient of this smoothie. Watermelon is a
great whole body cleanser, and particularly effective at cleansing the kidneys
and liver. Cleaning out the toxins currently present in these organs frees them
up to properly clear toxins in the future. It’s a win-win. There are even 3-day
watermelon detox diets for those that really want to push the envelope.
Next, we have ginger, well known as a
digestive aid, but also great for purging toxins from the body. As with
watermelon, lemon juice also helps detoxify the liver. Frozen blueberries made
their way into this smoothie not because they’re great cleansers, but for all
their good nutrition. Rounding things out is a dash of sea salt for some added
minerals.
