Spring Detox Salad & Smoothie Recipes

Spring is prime detox time!

Detoxing doesn't just mean doing a cleanse - there are plenty of ways to detox daily by including functional ingredients in your diet! Foods like greens (spinach, lettuce, etc.), turmeric, ginger, garlic, and nuts are all great for detoxing because they are full of fiber and antioxidants.

We are sharing two of our favourite detox recipes that used to be on our '76 Sips Cafe menu. Keep scrolling to see our Detox Salad & Detox 2.0 Smoothie recipes!
