We decided a hike would be the perfect way to kick off this holiday weekend, so I knew we needed something pretty substantial to get us through until lunch. On days like this, I always add some almond butter or peanut butter to our smoothies, which served as the inspiration for this smoothie. It definitely…
The human body is comprised of incredible organs designed for detoxification, better than anything we could ever dream up. So Why Detox?
