This is the signature drink of The Shred Power Cleanse. It has everything and then some — when it comes to detoxing. It's filled with fiber, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin K, folate, and antioxidants.

Purple Power Detox Smoothie

  • ½ cup low-fat strawberry or plain yogurt
  • ½ cup frozen sliced strawberries (substitute fresh if preferred)
  • ½ cup loosely packed curly kale, stems removed
