Detox Orange Ginger Smoothie

December 14, 2011

Are you looking for ways to embrace a little holiday detox?  If so, don't forget to incorporate a piece of ginger.  Ginger is believed to fire up your body’s natural detoxification work.  It also helps your body better absorb nutrients and eliminate waste (cleansing divas believe excess waste = excess weight).  Toss a piece of fresh ginger into a stir fry, a great salad dressing and even a delicious smoothie.
