I’ve done a ton of spicy detox smoothies and this one by far is the most palatable. The avocado really helps. Going to add this one to my rotation. Also, it tastes much better chilled so usually sit it in my fridge until I’m ready to drink it.

Perfect detox smoothie with a kick! Next time I may add a little pear, but overall I loved the way this smoothie came out. It was very creamy and flavorful.
