Blood, Liver, and Kidney Cleanser
Dandelion is useful for cleansing the blood, kidneys, and liver. When added to apple juice it makes a great green-colored cocktail.

Citrus Cocktail
The grapefruit and lemon help break down fat stores and make your body chemistry more alkaline. The orange adds more vitamin C and sweetens this juice.
