Green Smoothies for the Holidays (or any day!)

Green smoothies are a great way to replace your lunch or dinner. If you are feeling you need an extra boost midday, go ahead and have a green smoothie.

A green smoothie is 1 part green vegetables, Lettuce, spinach, chard, bok choy greens, etc 1 part liquid, coconut water,  or water, and 2 parts fruit. As your palate becomes more familiar with the green smoothies, go with less fruit and more greens for  total cleanse.

Here are a few of our favorite smoothies!

• 1 cup pomegranate seeds
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 cup spinach

Combine all the ingredients with the liquid in the bottom of the blender and blend until smooth.

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup baby kale
• 1 cup frozen pineapple
• ½ cup strawberries
• 1 whole apple
• 1 whole lemon with peel

Combine all the ingredients with the liquid in the bottom of the blender and blend until smooth.
