Super Green Watermelon Detox Smoothie

Super Green Watermelon Detox Smoothie
Gochujang is a Korean hot chili paste made from red chili powder, glutinous rice powder, powdered fermented soybeans, and salt. It is making its way out of Koreatown and into American kitchens. Combined with the super-nutritious greens that boost brain and body, from kale, mint, and parsley loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to green tea and watermelon that help to lower risk for heart disease and cancer, and the creaminess of avocado, this “smoothie” will jump start any detox program! And, it’s satisfying, so it helps curb hunger.
