Detox Green Smoothie

Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like banana, almond butter, fresh spinach, strawberries, and chia seeds, this Detox Green Smoothie is one I drink daily – and feel great doing it. As the New Year rolls in and after a holiday season of indulgence, I like to cut back in January with nourishing choices rather than strict diets. I call this a detox green smoothie because it has everything you need to jump-start your nutrition, feel energized, and get back on track with better eating.

Every ingredient in this green detox smoothie plays a role in your overall nutrition. Here’s how they contribute:

• Banana: Adds natural creaminess along with B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium, and helps support digestion.
• Almond Butter: Brings a lovely nutty flavor while providing protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, and support for stable blood sugar.
• Frozen Mango: Chills the smoothie and adds natural sweetness, plus vitamin C and beta-carotene. It also supports digestion and healthy skin.
• Strawberries: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, and help support blood sugar balance.
• Fresh Spinach: Loaded with vitamins A, C, K, and folate, plus protein – yes, protein! It’s one of the best all-around vegetables for detoxing and overall nutrition.
• Almond Milk: A great dairy-free alternative that’s easy to digest and naturally lactose-free.
• Lemon juice: Adds a bright, refreshing flavor while supporting digestion and hydration. Rich in vitamin C.
• Chia Seeds: Add extra protein and fiber to help you feel fuller longer.

You can add optional boosts like matcha green tea powder, protein or collagen powder, or extra fruits such as pineapple or green apple. You can also blend in vegetables you love, including dark leafy greens like kale, fresh ginger, cucumber, celery, or avocado.
