Thanks to the watermelon and purple cabbage, it has a great tasty looking color. No green/brown sludge, but all of those healthy benefits!
Can you think of a single pharmaceutical product, or pill that can do even half of this? Even if it existed, you know the commercial would have ridiculous side effects like depression, or death. Seriously, death as a side effect?
