Pucker Up Smoothie

The tartness of lemons and limes is balanced by crisp kale and raw honey in this smoothie. Coconut milk adds a natural fat that aids in weight loss and a beautiful complexion. Not only do lemons and limes have the acidity and tang to make you pucker up; they are incredibly healthy, too. Those same small, sour fruits that can bring a tear to your eye promote a balanced alkaline level in your body.
