Green detox smoothie

This Green Detox Smoothie is the perfect way to start your day on a healthy note. Packed with nutritious greens like kale and spinach, along with creamy avocado and hydrating cucumber, it's a delicious and easy way to boost your vitamin intake. The addition of vinegar adds a unique tangy flavor and extra cleansing benefits.

Ingredients:

5 cups kale
340g
1 cup spinach
30g
1/2 avocado
100g
1 cucumber
300g
1/2 cup vinegar
120g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Wash the kale and spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Peel and pit the avocado, then scoop out the flesh.
- Wash the cucumber and cut it into large chunks. If preferred, you can peel the cucumber, but the skin contains additional fiber and nutrients.
2. Blend the Greens:
- Add the kale and spinach to your blender first. This allows the greens to break down better and mix more evenly.
- Blend on a medium setting until they are finely chopped and start to form a green base.
3. Add the Remaining Ingredients:
- To the already blended mixture, add the avocado chunks and cucumber pieces.
- Pour in the ½ cup of vinegar. The vinegar adds a detoxifying element to the smoothie, so make sure you add it gradually to adjust to taste if preferred.
4. Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth consistency. This may take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender's power.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Taste and Adjust:
- Take a moment to taste the smoothie. If it's too tangy from the vinegar, you can balance it with a small amount of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, although this is optional and adds calories.
6. Serve:
- Pour the green detox smoothie into a glass or a bottle if you wish to take it on the go.
- Enjoy your healthy, nutrient-packed drink right away for maximum freshness and benefits.

Tips:

- Wash all vegetables thoroughly before blending.

- For a smoother texture, blend the kale and spinach with a bit of water before adding the other ingredients.

- Use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth consistency.

- Feel free to add a sweetener like honey or a piece of fruit (apple or banana) if you prefer a sweeter taste.

- Chill your ingredients beforehand or add a few ice cubes to keep your smoothie refreshingly cold.

- Experiment with adding other healthy ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder.

This Green Detox Smoothie is a nutrient-dense beverage that not only tastes great but also provides your body with essential vitamins and minerals. By incorporating this smoothie into your daily routine, you can enjoy a delicious way to support your overall health and wellness. Happy blending!
