If you want to try this at home, do not just throw an entire bulb of garlic into your blender. Follow these golden rules to keep it delicious:
​Crush the garlic first: Crush one small clove and let it sit on your cutting board for 10 minutes before blending. This activates the active healing compound, allicin.
​Go cold: Use plenty of ice. A warm garlic-tropical smoothie is a disaster. A freezing cold one is a treat.
​Drink it on an empty stomach: For maximum detox benefits, drink this first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before your first cup of coffee.
