Non-stop holiday parties and overindulging have you feeling a little sluggish? Recharge with Green Smoothies! They are the perfect way to detox your body and ramp up your energy.<\/p>\n
Store-bought juices and smoothies might taste d\u2019lish\u2026but they can be super high in calories and sugar, which kind of defeats the purpose.<\/p>\n
Try my favorite homemade Green Smoothie<\/b> instead! Tear up 2 large leaves of organic Kale and toss in a blender. Then add 1\/2 a banana and a tiny touch of honey or maple syrup, and some unsweetened coconut or almond milk. Add in a scoop of ice and blend it up until totally smooth and brilliant green! Looking for something a little creamier? Try my Jump Start Smoothie!<\/b><\/p>\n
You can also jazz up your smoothie with matcha powder<\/a>, flax seeds, goji berries<\/a>, or even almond butter for an added energy and protein boost.<\/p>\n Try it as a meal replacement for a few days and you\u2019ll be recharged in no time at all. Jump-Start Smoothie<\/b> 1\/2 cup frozen fruits or fresh fruits Place ingredients in the order above and blend until smooth.
