**Why it's so good for you:**
Grapefruit is rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants, two powerful liver cleansers. Like garlic, grapefruit contains compounds that boost the production of liver detoxification enzymes. It also contains a flavonoid compound known as naringenin that causes the liver to burn fat rather than store it. The powerful nutrient combination of fiber, potassium, lycopene, vitamin C, and choline in grapefruit all help to maintain a healthy heart.
The combination of ingredients in this smoothie helps to improve blood circulation, boost your metabolism, and detoxify toxins, helping to prevent excess fat cells forming in the body. Due to the high vitamin C content, it also helps produce collagen to firm up the skin and reduce fluid retention - all of which contribute to the formation of pesky, unwanted cellulite!
