If you need an energizing reboot, this green power smoothie from blogger Healthy Happy Life's book 365 Vegan Smoothies ($12) will become a favorite. It's got hydrating aloe vera juice and coconut water, toxin-flushing lemon juice and fiber to help keep your digestive system feeling happy. And the high potassium content in the banana and coconut water helps flush out last night's sodium-laden indulgences.
