10 Green Detox Smoothies

10 Green Detox Smoothies

I  found a few easy recipes that can be made in a blender at home. Below is a video that demonstrates the best way to make a detox smoothie. Use this method for any of the smoothie recipes below... 

1 This kale apple smoothie is from Whole Living magazine. It has no fat and 4 grams of fiber

Ingredients

1 cup kale or collard greens firmly packed, stems removed, coarsely chopped (4 ounces)
1 Granny Smith apple, coarsely chopped
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves 

2 This one is from Whole Living as well. Cucumber, Honeydew, and Mint sounds a little strange but the ingredients could work well together

Ingredients

1/2 English cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 honeydew melon, peeled and chopped (2 cups)
1 cup pear juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

3 I found this one on a food blog. It has lots of fruit to kill the taste of spinach and celery

Ingredients

3 cups frozen diced pineapple

3 cups fresh baby spinach

1 cup frozen diced banana

1 celery rib (optional)

1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger (start with less and add more if desired)

1 Tbsp. chia seeds

juice from half a lime

4 I found this recipe on the Shape website. Apparently some celebrities swear by this one.

Ingredients
-1 1/2 cups water

-1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped
-3-4 stalks organic celery

-1/2 head of a large bunch, or 3/4 of a small bunch of spinach
-1 organic apple, cored and chopped
-1 organic pear, cored and chopped
-1 organic banana

-Juice of 1/2 fresh organic lemon

Optional
-1/3 bunch organic cilantro (stems okay)

-1/3 bunch organic parsley (stems okay)
