At the beginning of Spring it’s a great idea to help your body to release toxins that have been accumulated during wintertime.

JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:
- Don’t have time to prepare a fresh smoothie in the morning? Make it at night, store it in an airtight container (preferably glass or at least BPA free) and take it with you the next morning.
- Lucuma is rich in calcium, iron and phosphorus – good for strong bones, healthy digestion and hormone balance.
