* Gochujang is a Korean hot chili paste made from red chili powder, glutinous rice powder, powdered fermented soybeans, and salt. It is making its way out of Koreatown
and into American kitchens. Combined with the supernutritious
greens that boost brain and body, from kale, mint, and parsley loaded with vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants to green tea and watermelon that help to lower risk for heart disease and cancer, and the creaminess of avocado, this "smoothie" will jump start any detox
program! And, it's satisfying, so it helps curb hunger.
