    I love healthy green smoothie recipes. They are an amazing way to start your day strong and fill your body with essential nutrients.

    This green detox smoothie really is one of my favorites alongside this Avocado Weight Loss Smoothie, creamy Kiwi Smoothie, or this glowing Spirulina Smoothie. Truly, smoothies can be an effortless breakfast, snack, or light meal, especially if you want to quickly hydrate yourself, boost your immunity, and improve your digestion.

    Instructions

    Chopped frozen banana, green apple, pear, chia seeds, lemon juice, spinach, and oat milk in a blender cup.

    Substitutions

    Missing an ingredient? Don't worry, this homemade cleansing drink is easily customizable. Here are some suggestions:

    • Spinach - instead of spinach you can use kale, collard greens, or swiss chard.
    • Banana - if you are not a banana fan, try swapping frozen banana with Applesauce, mashed sweet potato, or mango.
    • Pear - you can substitute fresh pear with pineapple chunks, white grapes, or papaya.
    • Oat Milk- feel free to use any dairy-free milk you have at home. Or you can easily make Cashew Milk or Almond Milk at home. Super easy and affordable!
    • Chia Seeds - replace chia seeds with ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), or hemp seeds.

    Variations

    • Include Protein - you can add vegan Greek yogurt, rolled oats, hemp seeds, or your favorite protein powder to make it more satisfying.
    • Extra Creamy - mix in a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or Cashew Butter for added creaminess.
    • Super Sweet - try adding refined sugar-free mix-ins like 1-2 dates, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, or agave nectar if you love your smoothies on the sweet note.

    Equipment

    You'll need a high-power blender to make this metabolism-booster smoothie.

    Storage

    If you have any leftovers keep them in a glass airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I recommend you consume it as quickly as possible so you can reap all those nutritional benefits in full measure. Alternatively, you can transfer it into a freezer-friendly container or ice cube tray and freeze it for up to 3 months.

    Top Tip

    Don't skip the addition of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Not only will it add a nice zesty flavor to your smoothie but will also aid in the absorption of all the vitamins and minerals from the other fruits and veggies.

    FAQ

    What is a detox smoothie?

    Detox smoothies are an effortless and flavorful way to quickly flush your body from toxins and boost your metabolism and immune system. Fresh vegetables and fruits are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and powerful antioxidants that easily detoxify your body. In addition to the water you drink, these nutrient-dense superfoods help you stay well hydrated because of the water they contain.

    When to drink a detox smoothie?

    You can enjoy this creamy detox smoothie any time of the day but I think the best time to consume it is in the morning, after waking up. This is the optimal time of the day because our body absorbs all nutrients and converts them into energy. Also, it's an ideal recovery drink after working out, just a yummy snack or treat, or just whenever your body needs a reset.

    Can you drink a detox smoothie every day?

    This natural detox smoothie recipe is a great way to get a portion of your daily recommended serving of fruits and veggies. If you can't eat enough throughout the day you can easily consume it as a healthy drink. So, yes, definitely try to add this fat-burning smoothie to your daily routine and make it your new healthy habit. The possibilities are endless, you can incorporate whatever fruits, veggies, nuts, or seeds you like and customize it to fit your taste and needs.

    Is detox smoothie good for you?

    Here are my favorite benefits of drinking a smoothie every day:
    - Quick weight loss
    - Bone strength
    - Lower risk of chronic diseases
    - Immunity boost
    - Better sleep
