Detox Smoothies

Unknown
Many of us don’t consistently meet our daily requirements of fruits and vegetables. It can be quite challenging to monitor your intake, especially with a busy schedule. Here’s where smoothies come in: one a day is a simple way to incorporate more nutrients in your diet. They can even be made in bulk and kept frozen for ultimate convenience. All you need is a blender and your selection of nourishing ingredients. Check out our guide for the perfect smoothie every time:

 Pick a base: Start off by adding  1 cup of the following to the blender: almond milk, fresh juice, coconut milk or water, iced coffee, or water.

 Add the fruit: Measure 2-3 cups of your favorite fruits. We especially enjoy bananas, mangos, blueberries, strawberries, apples, and acai berries. 

 Lean and green: Add 1 cup of spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, or avocado. If you’re worried this won’t mix well with the rest of your smoothie, don’t worry too much, we promise you won’t really taste it! 

 Sweet kick: For some added sweetness, make a wise choice with raw honey, pure maple syrup, figs, dates, or vanilla extract.

 Meal on the go: For a heartier meal replacement smoothie, add 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds, ground flax seeds, all natural nut butter (peanut, almond, sunflower, etc.), coconut oil, or organic oats. 

 Power boost: Throw a pinch of cinnamon, protein powder, cacao powder, maca powder, or bee pollen for optimized energy.
