I haven’t posted many smoothie recipes, but I do make them for myself regularly so I thought I would share this one today. On days when I want to decrease my morning caffeine or just want to up my greens first thing in the morning, I whip up this smoothie in my Magic Bullet.
Enjoy this gluten-free detox smoothie for breakfast in the morning, or as a snack during the day. It is delicious and super refreshing and a wonderful way to get more greens into your diet. This smoothie only takes a few minutes to make, is packed full of vitamins, and is super tasty to boot. Even kids will love it!
If you haven’t made a green smoothie before, I think this is a good easy recipe to start with. Believe it or not , it doesn’t taste like spinach at all. The pineapple and ginger add a sweetness and zing to the drink. It is time for you to see why I think this is the best green detox smoothie recipe.
This gluten-free smoothie has fresh spinach, parsley, ginger, avocado, frozen pineapple and coconut water in it. Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients in this smoothie.
- Spinach- leafy green vegetables like spinach are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. Spinach benefits eye health, helps prevent cancer and reduces blood pressure.
- Fresh ginger- Ginger is known for its health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. It has shown to help nausea, headaches, E Coli, and cold and flu symptoms.
- Fresh parsley- Parsley has flavonoids that are known to prevent cancer, protect against diabetes, improve bone health and has Vitamin K, C and A.
- Pineapple- Pineapple is full of nutrients, antioxidants and enzymes that help to fight inflammation and disease. It aids in digestion, boosts immunity and aids in reducing symptoms of arthritis.
All these benefits, and this gluten-free and dairy-free smoothie is delicious!
HOW TO MAKE THIS SMOOTHIE:
Add spinach, parsley, chopped ginger, frozen pineapple, avocado and coconut water into a magic bullet and blend until smooth.
I like to make up 4-5 glass jars of the ingredients (without the coconut water) and keep them on hand in my refrigerator. I layer the jars this way- first pineapple, then ginger, then avocado in the jar. Next I add parsley and the spinach. Place lids on the jars and keep in fridge until you want to make a smoothie. When you are ready just pour ingredients into the magic bullet and add the coconut water and blend.
