Description
This cheerfully yellow smoothie packs a healthy punch. The lemon, ginger, and matcha powder work together as a detox trio. The lemon aids the liver in it’s detoxification process, the ginger helps to soothe and assist digestion, and the cayenne pepper contains capsaicin which has anti-inflammatory properties. While the cayenne does add a pleasant and unexpected kick, feel free to omit this ingredient if you would like.
