The BEST Green Detox Smoothie!

What is not to love about a Green Detox Smoothie?  This detox smoothie recipe is easy to make and tastes so great, even kids will love it!

A few years ago, I made a promise to myself.  I set an intention that I would create a specific habit where several servings of fruits and vegetables were part of meals every day.  And  I knew that success hinged on making the process foolproof.

A typical morning for me looks like this – several servings of fruits, vegetables, herbs, non-dairy milk, etc… straight into the blender.  Some mornings it’s this smoothie or another favorite, the anti-inflammatory smoothie.

While the BEST green smoothie is blending (1-2 minutes), I put all the ingredients away.  As I drink my delicious, freshly made, healthy smoothie, my day has started with my intention fulfilled.  So easy!

Here you get a few handfuls of spinach (look for organic), yet you can’t taste the spinach in the final drink.  And, spinach is generally mild tasting.  I happen to love spinach and spinach salads, but if you are someone who doesn’t, this may be a way to get all the nutritious benefits of this wonderful green.  Why not add a small piece of ginger for anti-inflammatory benefits?  I would consider this a little milder tasting smoothie compared to the Green Kale Smoothie,   (which was much sweeter tasting).

How To Make A Green Detox Smoothie:

Step 1 – Gather and measure the ingredients:  unsweetened almond milk, banana, orange, spinach, ginger, celery, lemon, chia or flax seeds, parsley or cilantro, ice cubes.

Step 3 – Blend for about one minute until the ingredients are well-blended and smooth.  Pour into a glass and enjoy!
