Though clay comes from the earth, you don’t necessarily think to consume it like a farm-grown veggie. But maybe you should…specifically, bentonite clay. This mineral-rich byproduct of volcanic ash offers over 50 natural trace minerals. For centuries, it was used to relieve tummy troubles. When paired with pungent ginger and the punchiness of citrus, you get a refreshing, stomach-soothing smoothie. Tomorrow morning, swap the kale-and-carrots juice blend, and give your digestive system (and taste buds!) something new to smile about.
