Often these detox green smoothies are dyed green to give the illusion of being super healthy and  natural.

Have you ever considered an alternative product to the green smoothie? There are some great detox tea’s (also called “teatox” teas) that are 100% organic on the market right now which we highly recommend! Why are we recommending them?
