- SUPER-POWER IT:
- For an energy boost, try adding 1 teaspoon maca powder or ¼-1/2 teaspoon matcha (Japanese ground green tea), which does contain caffeine (which is one of the foods we stay away during the detox), but since it has so many health benefits and a low caffeine content, it’s worth considering.
I would check a health food store, not sure what they might have in your area, but that would be the best place.
