Number of Servings
1
Ingredients
- 8 ounces coconut water (rich in potassium and other electrolytes)*
- 1⁄2 cup frozen strawberries or blueberries (rich in vitamin C, fiber, manganese and antioxidants)
- 1 shot of wheatgrass or 1 tsp green powder (aids in digestion and detoxification)
- 1 heaping spoonful of vegan protein powder (amino acids aid detoxification)
- 1 splash of aloe vera juice
- 1 dash of cinnamon to sweeten (protects the liver against damage from alcohol)
- 1 tsp organic honey to sweeten, depending on taste preferences
Directions
- Place ingredients into a blender and process for 60-90 seconds.

Notes
- *James recommends using Vita Coco or another fresh coconut water. "Read the labels and only buy fresh coconut water in a Tetra-pak," says James, who notes that the majority of nationally available coconut water brands use concentrate.
