There’s nothing as healthy as a great looking smoothie packed with fresh seasonal produce. Blueberries and cranberries are what your body needs to get rid of illegal drugs, toxins, medications, and alcohols that build up over time.

The combination of blueberries, cranberries and fresh lettuce results in a fresh delicious smoothie with a purple bursting color and a tropical taste from lime. Cranberries are vital for supporting the urinary tract and preventing impending tract infection by blocking the bacteria from binding to the urinary tract.
