A graphic titled "Clean Your Body With 3 Days Detox Smoothie" shows ingredients and resulting smoothies for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Monday features celery, cucumber, and apple. Tuesday includes banana, kiwi, and spinach. Wednesday's smoothie is made from strawberry, blueberry, and banana.

It’s Wednesday but I’m starting on Monday. While this isn’t bad tasting I wish I had used my better blender because this has a a lot of pulp to it. Or maybe next time for this blend I will just juice it. #detoxweek #detoxjuices #detoxfromnegativity #detoxnaturally #detoxdiaries #bodytran
