Belly-Slimming Green Juice

Our Belly-Slimming Green Juice is just what you've been looking for! We used tons of fruits and veggies to pack in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants while keeping the calorie count low. And while you might think the juice may not taste very yummy, think again! The pineapple gives it a sweet flavor and helps mask the spinach and broccoli. The spinach helps keep your muscles strong, and the broccoli and cucumber both give tons of nutrients while filling you up without many calories. And while the mint adds a light and crisp flavor, it's also a stimulant, so it stimulates the digestive enzymes that absorb nutrients and turn fat into usable energy. Slimming down has never been easier with this juice!
