Detox Smoothie with Spinach and Pears. 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 one of these nutrient and antioxidant filled drinks and help your body boost the cleansing process. And they’re pretty darn tasty too 🙂
