Fruit enzyme detox drink

It's time for a detox!!!
Today is Spring Equinox, time for new beginnings and the start of my favourite time of year.
It's gonna feel good to clean out the winter cobwebs for an exciting, energy filled summer season.
A bit of a spring clean around the house is good too. Clean out the clutter and dust!!!

Enzymes are an amazing type of protein that provides energy and reactivates our cells.
A cup of enzyme a day can help detox your body and keep you healthy.
Thanks to Melissa for the direction!

These recipes don't really taste amazing, kinda like bad wine, but it's worth the benefits!
