Green Detox Smoothie

This is my breakfast for most days now. Because I dislike salad, this is a great way to get daily vegetable and fiber. You can be creative and throw in different ingredients. A basic green detox smoothie recipe contains:

  • Leafy green vegetable like kale, spinach, or chard. I like the power green mix of spinach, kale and chard.
  • Fruit like bananas, berries, apples, or pineapple. 
  • Water, ice, milk, or juice to thin it out and make it easier to blend.
You can also add other common detox and weight loss smoothie ingredients, such as Yogurt, celery, lemons, limes, ginger, mango, cranberries, cilantro, fennel, watermelon, almonds, green tea, watercress, arugula, wheatgrass, avocado, spirulina, and beets.
The recipe below is a reference. You can just throw in ingredients to your satisfaction.

Ingredients

Frozen diced pineapple - 3 cups
Fresh leafy green vegetable - 3 cups, prefer Costco power green mix
Frozen banana - 1
Celery rib - 2  
Grated fresh ginger - 1 TBSP or to taste
Chia seeds - 1 to 1.5 TBSP
Juice from half lemon or lime

Step

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Add some water or juice if needed to help the blender blend.
