Even my kids drink this fruit and vegetable green smoothie and love it! My favorite healthy smoothie!
At the start of the new year I did a green smoothie cleanse using this book. It was just what my body needed to detox from all the holiday fat and sugar. It’s amazing how “off” our taste buds can get when we are feeding our bodies nothing but garbage! Not only did I lose 7 lbs in 9 days, but more importantly I detoxed my body from soda, processed sugars and unhealthy fats!
Other than drinking green smoothies for weight loss, are so many good benefits from starting your day with a blend of fruit and veggies.
Green Smoothie Benefits:
- They provide so many good vitamins and minerals that promote weight loss
- You fit more servings of fruits and vegetables into your day
- It improves hydration and digestion
- They provide antioxidants that are super beneficial
- The folic acid found in green vegetables is known to reduce symptoms of depression
Anyway, I had a great experience with the cleanse, but one of the best benefits was how it affected my kids! After watching me make smoothies all the time, of course they wanted to try them too! I think we were all shocked by how much they actually enjoyed them, because my kids are super picky! We have since incorporated green smoothies into our breakfasts at least a few times a week and I think it has been so positive for all of us!
You ready for one of our favorite green smoothie recipes? This is a great one to start with even if you aren’t used to eating lots of fruits and veggies!

It doesn’t get much better then a happy, healthy start to the morning!
xo,
The directions talk about an Apple yet there’s no apples in the ingredients?
Oh my goodness I am SO sorry about that! I just added it in, but yes it calls for one small cored apple!
It looks really delicious. I love the combination of the color after mixing all those ingredients.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
You are so very welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
