Do you love experiencing new health trends? Give this black charcoal smoothie a try! Because I love trying new health trends I decided to give this black charcoal smoothie a try! Charcoal does have some great benefits for the body, it is commonly used to remove toxins or even poison from the body. Keep in mind that, in its ability to remove the not-so-good things, charcoal can also prevent your body from absorbing nutrients if taken too often. So- use sparingly! And a little goes a long way! This is a bowl to enjoy every now and then as opposed to every day.
