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 key 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 further in deactivating dangerous metabolic waste from phase 1, and create bile for excretion via the bowel.
