Ruby Cleanse Smoothie
The ingredients in this smoothie were chosen because of their cleansing and good gut health qualities. The best part (aside from the gorgeous colour) is that it actually TASTES good while being good for you. You can substitute the coconut water for plain water if you wish, although it does enhance the flavour! You can substitute some of the ingredients for what you have on hand... for example spinach for kale or frozen strawberries for blueberries.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This is a delicious, quick and easy smoothie. The avocado gives it a lovely creamy texture. I could have this for breakfast every day... and I love the colour!" - Bec B.
