Acai Republic has many ways to get an infusion of the things you need to get all of the bad stuff out of your system after Thanksgiving. You'll find a variety of smoothies, juices and even big bowls of fruit at this Brazilian juice bar. And although there may be a lot of fruit in the bowl, it will be a much lighter meal than what you at for Thanksgiving. Two of the great juice options for helping you feel better are Mr. Green (greens, pineapple and grapes) and Samurai Lemonade (pictured, with ginger, lime and honey). Acai Republic has an extensive menu including smoothies, fresh fruit juices, coffee, sandwiches and more to help you start your detox.
