When making smoothies , I really like to use ingredients like lemon, ginger, goji berries, beets, pineapple, avocados, cinnamon, apples, and parsley because they are naturally detoxifying, and offer an added benefit to the nutrients found in popular ingredients like red & blueberries, banana, mango, nut butter and nut milks.
