Matcha Detox Green Smoothie

Avocado (and chia seeds) brings texture and thickness, while kale, kiwi, and pink grapefruit peel quench your body with powerful antioxidants; “Essentials” phytonutrients and minerals including magnesium (from brassicas), vital for most body processes including liver detoxification phase 1 and phase 2.
If you add the protein-rich chia seeds, you will assist your liver in deactivating dangerous metabolic waste from phase 1, and produce bile for excretion via the bowel.
