Alkaline Diet Recipe: Dr. Green Detox Smoothie

THIS IS ONE of my favorite smoothies, as it’s a pure alkaline recipe with no fruit added. When you need a real power punch of energy and cleansing vitality, you can’t do better than a straight-up green smoothie. I especially love the fresh grassy flavors of the cilantro and the parsley.
