Detoxify Me Smoothie

I will never get over my infatuation with green smoothies. It simply will not happen.

they are perfect. beautiful. vibrant.

And I’ve got a good one to share today! This has been tucked away in the ‘fave smoothie’ category for many years now. This smoothie is great for detoxification due to the abundance of greens and it will be absorbed into your juicy bloodstream in just 10 minutes.

When you sip this beauty you are receiving the highest quality, most nutrient-dense + high water content food on the planet. (And after spending this past week at Walt Disney World, I know my body could use a nice detox!)

In addition, the greens + fiber + fruit from this combo will result in some ridiculously feel good vibes.

super charged. super energizing. super alkalizing. super tasty.

I understand that often times it can be overwhelming when we think of improving our diet + giving our bodies the good detox they deserve. But let me say there is great power in just starting.

Why wait for things to be perfect (because they never are) before starting something new? It is important to just start — start anywhere. So let’s get in the kitchen, crank some tunes, and start blending! 

Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy & peaceful week (I am so excited for the new year I can’t even tell you!)
