Notes
Spring Detox Tip: In the spring our bodies start their own sort of spring cleaning…help it along with adding a lot more fresh vegetables to your diet! The best foods for spring detoxification are bitter greens such as dandelion greens, mustard greens, arugula and watercress. Other spring detoxifying vegetables are asparagus, radishes and celery. Don’t forget to add a little lemon and lime as well 🙂
