The lymphatic system plays a major role in detoxification. It removes wastes from every cell in the body and helps regulate the immune system. If you don’t focus on cleansing the lymphatic system first, toxins released during any kind of cleanse will simply be stored in other areas of the body (instead of being flushed out).

This smoothie is a great way to pump the lymphatic system because it contains the chlorophyll in spirulina the citric acid in lemon and oranges, and the bromelain in pineapple, which help tighten and tone the lymph vessels and push everything out.

Once the toxins are squeezed out by these ingredients, they are shuttled out by the diuretic effects of the smoothie as a whole, and by attaching to the chia seeds, which absorb the toxins and eliminate them without being re-absorbed back into the blood stream.
