gingery blueberry mango smoothie
the (dreaded) cleanse is technically over, but to my surprise, all i could think of when i opened my eyes this morning was what smoothie i was going to make (and drink) for breakfast. there are things i've learned from this cleanse that i will carry way beyond the 10 days it lasted. drinking (good for you smoothies) like this one is one of them. try it at home-it's refreshing, simple, and really good for you.
