 This delicious yet nutritious Detoxifying Green Smoothie uses just a few everyday ingredients (and even less if you've got yourself a bottle of Organic Greens Superpowder+). It brings together a delightful array of different fruits and veggies that complement each other and balance each other out - so there's no grassy taste here, promise! This is a super easy way to cleanse the system and boost nutrition. It's the perfect start to your day.

What's great about this smoothie

This smoothie is perfect if you find it difficult to get enough greens in your diet, or if you're just trying to increase your intake of food-based vitamins phytonutrients and antioxidants.

And if the idea of a green drink is off-putting to you, let us reassure you - this smoothie tastes nothing like a regular, grassy green drink.

Try this smoothie if you're hoping to:

  • increase your fruit and vegetable intake
  • get more fibre and nutrients
  • improve your gut microbiome
  • balance your immune system
  • improve your liver function

Detox Green Smoothie Recipe

  1. Start with your greens - obviously! 2 teaspoons of Ora Organic Greens Superpowder+ is the most fuss-free source of high quality, organic greens. Otherwise, greens like baby spinach, kale, romaine lettuce and celery work well. 

  2. Next, add your favourite creamy fruit such as banana or avocado. While bananas are rich sources of potassium which helps maintain cellular liver health, avocados are a great source of monounsaturated fat and vitamins C, E, K and B6, and also help to increase the liver's ability to cleanse itself. 

  3. Flavour the smoothie with sweeter fruits like berries, mango or pineapple which will not only help to mask any grassy taste from the greens, but also provide a good variety of nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants. 

  4. Add in any desired natural flavour, such as a squeeze of lemon for a sour note and vitamin C, or honey for a little more sweetness. Manuka honey especially supports a healthy immune system, aids digestion and the phenolic compounds may provide liver-protecting benefits.

  5. Lastly, add your liquid of choice — coconut water, plant-based milk or even just water.  

  6. Blend everything together and enjoy!
