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.
