This rejuvenating colon cleanse juice is a natural elixir designed to gently flush toxins, support digestion, and restore vitality. Made with just three potent ingredients—lemon, ginger, and green apple—it’s a refreshing blend that harnesses centuries of wellness wisdom. Each component plays a unique role: lemon alkalizes and detoxifies, ginger stimulates digestion and reduces inflammation, and green apple provides fiber and a touch of sweetness to balance the bold flavors.
Ideal for morning rituals or mid-day resets, this juice is more than a cleanse—it’s a ritual of renewal. Whether you’re easing into a wellness journey, recovering from indulgence, or simply seeking a fresh start, this drink offers a gentle yet effective way to support your body’s natural detox pathways.
🍋 Ingredients:
- 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
(Rich in fiber and antioxidants; helps regulate bowel movements) - 1-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled
