A berry detox smoothie is what I reach for when the freezer already has a bag of mixed berries half-open. I add a handful of spinach so it isn’t just sugar, plus a little water and lemon to keep it bright. The color alone makes a gray morning feel a bit more manageable.

I pour this into a tall glass and drink it slowly before checking my phone. A berry detox smoothie works as a light breakfast or an afternoon reset when I need something cold and real. The frozen fruit keeps it thick, so it feels like a treat rather than a chore.
