⚠️ Detox Warning: Because this smoothie is designed to stimulate your body’s natural detox processes, you may experience mild, temporary symptoms such as a headache, slight nausea, or increased urination. If symptoms become uncomfortable, reduce frequency or volume, ensure you’re well-hydrated, and consult your healthcare practitioner if needed.
