Detoxifying Green Smoothie Recipe

Kale leaves, fresh mint, frozen banana, coconut water.

My go-to green smoothie recipe at the moment – refreshing, delicious and not too “healthy” tasting. It’s also been getting all the ticks of approval by my friends and family lately too.  I try to get greens in my diet everyday but when I don’t have time or I can’t stomach a salad I make one of these and it works a treat! Plus it has lots of other healing whole-foods in it to promote detoxification and healing. Sometimes I throw a big handful of baby spinach leaves in as well.

Recipe

2-3 big kale leaves, hold the stem and pull the leaves off, discard the stem and add leaves to your blender

Handful baby spinach leaves (optional)

1/2 a peeled lemon, pips removed

1 small knob fresh ginger, thumb nail size

A few sprigs of fresh mint, I throw in stems and all

Half a small fresh cucumber, about 5-6 cm long

1 big handful of frozen mango cubes. Mango makes it sweet so don’t skimp

1 fresh or frozen spotty banana, diced.

About 1.5 cups coconut water

Add it all to a high-speed blender and blend till smooth

Enjoy!
