Description

Ready for a reset? This easy detox smoothie is filled with ingredients to boost immunity, promote healthy digestion and keep you hydrated.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the smoothie:

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple (unsweetened)
  • 1 green apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 handfuls fresh baby spinach or fresh kale
  • 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled
  • 1 large juicy lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup light coconut milk (or sub coconut water or filtered water)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Boosters:

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon moringa leaf powder (or matcha powder)
  • 1 teaspoon spirulina
  • fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend from low to the highest speed until perfectly smooth. You may need to use your blender's tamper/plunger to get it started.  
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy with a straw.

Notes

If you want a sweeter smoothie, add 1 soft-pitted Medjool date. I usually find that the sweetness of the apple and pineapple makes it sweet enough for me.

The ginger flavor masks the flavor of the spinach completely.
