A freshly pressed vegetable juice that is meant to stimulate the
elimination of toxins from your body should have the following
properties:

1. The ability to encourage movement of waste products through your
intestines.

2. The ability to encourage your digestive organs to release
digestive juices that can help to optimally break down recently
ingested food.

3. The ability to draw toxins out of your tissues.

With these properties in mind, here is one of the most effective
detox juice recipes that I know of:

Artichoke, Cilantro, and Radish Detox Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

4 Jerusalem artichokes
2 handfuls of fresh cilantro
4 radishes
3 carrots
1 tablespoon of green food powder that contains chlorella

Directions:

Use a juicer to press all ingredients except green food powder into
a vegetable juice.

Combine juice and green food powder in a bottle with a secure lid
and shake well for 10 or more seconds. Enjoy within an hour of
making this effective detox juice.

Notes:

Jerusalem artichokes are rich in the soluble fiber inulin, which is
known to encourage healthy bowel function.
Cilantro and chlorella are regularly recommended by many health
practitioners, myself included, for purposes of detoxification.
Radishes are known to stimulate the release of bile from the gall
bladder. Bile is needed for optimal digestion of fat.
