Super-easy and very healthy. Don't be put off by the color, this actually tastes pretty good and is great for digestion. I use coconut water instead of pineapple juice if I want to reduce the sugar and make the smoothie even healthier.

DAILY DETOX RITUAL #2: BREAKFAST MEAL REPLACEMENT GREEN SMOOTHIE



Daily Detox Ritual #2: Breakfast Meal Replacement Green Smoothie image

This is a great smoothie to add to your morning routine...countless variations can be made by using different fruits and fresh greens. Use what you have on hand, or what you may have a surplus of in the fridge. Citrus fruits and greens are the magic combo, as fruits high in Vit C help your body absorb more iron from the greens.Lemon and lime juice are great alkalizers, and enhances the taste of the smoothie. Add stevia or coconut nectar if needed. I like using frozen LOW GI fruits to keep the smoothie cold without adding ice (papaya, pears, apple) ! Try adding a combination of the fruits listed, not all are necessary each time-if you are in a hurry try just one or two fruits (pineapple and papaya have the most enzymes so I try to keep these on hand).

Time 5m

Yield 2 Smoothies, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 orange
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 banana
1/2 cup mango
1/2 cup papaya
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale
3 celery ribs
1/2 lime juice
1/2 lemon juice
2 cups water
stevia

Steps:

  • Start with water, you can use 1 cup to start, blend in about one small handful each of spinach and kale. Blend until smooth *if using a regular blender, try frozen organic chopped spinach. VITA MIX: add all ingredients in order, no need to blend greens first.
  • Add in 1/2 orange, cut into a few smaller pieces, try leaving a little rind! Make sure you take all seeds out. Break celery (more fat burning, anti-inflammatory!) into chunks, and blend smooth. NOTE: Citrus type fruits work best, for best nutrient absorption.
  • Add in harder fruits first, banana and lemon/lime last. If too thick, add in cold water until desired thickness, remember, it's a smoothie-not a juice:).
  • Add stevia and sweeten to taste, and try a pinch of dry or fresh mint if you find it strong for your palate!

UGLY GREEN SLIME DETOX SMOOTHIE



Ugly Green Slime Detox Smoothie image

The vibrant green hue will impress your friends and family that you're being OH so healthy, but close your eyes and taste a strawberry-banana milkshake! The easy way to get three of your daily fruits and veggies - both times I made this I felt great afterwards! These green drinks are expensive at smoothie places and the grocery store, so why not make your own at home - no juicer necessary. Originally I created this for the Ready Set Cook #11 contest but it was too ugly too enter.

Categories     Smoothies

Time 5m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 ounces frozen chopped spinach (not thawed or squeezed dry)
1 cup frozen strawberries (reserve one berry for garnish, if desired)
3/4 cup nonfat milk (or soy milk or almond milk)
1 tablespoon honey
1 banana (can also be frozen to have handy)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • For the spinach, it's easiest to partially defrost one 10 oz. package by leaving it out for a short amount of time, or putting on the microwave defrost setting for three minutes or so. It should easily break in half. Do not completely thaw or squeeze dry. If you're only making one smoothie, you can wrap the other half and put it back in the freezer.
  • Add all ingredients to a blender and process until milkshake consistency. You may need to stop the blender and help it along if any of the frozen pieces get stuck in the blade.
  • Serve, garnished with a single strawberry if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and chop fruits and vegetables beforehand to save time during smoothie preparation.
  • Experiment with Different Greens: Don't limit yourself to spinach; try kale, romaine lettuce, arugula, or any other leafy green you enjoy.
  • Add a Variety of Fruits: Combine sweet and tart fruits for a balanced flavor profile. Popular choices include bananas, apples, berries, and citrus fruits.
  • Don't Forget Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, and seeds add a creamy texture and essential fatty acids to your smoothie.
  • Add Protein Powder (Optional): If you're looking for a more filling smoothie, consider adding a scoop of protein powder.
  • Adjust Liquid as Needed: Start with a small amount of liquid and add more as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Enjoy Your Smoothie Fresh: Smoothies are best consumed immediately after preparation to preserve their nutritional value and flavor.

Conclusion:

Incorporating green detox smoothies into your diet is a delicious and nutritious way to enhance your overall well-being. With endless variations and customization options, you can create a smoothie that suits your taste preferences and health goals. Remember to use fresh ingredients, experiment with different flavors and textures, and enjoy your smoothie as part of a balanced diet.
