Green Detox Smoothie
Feel your best with this healthy, nutrient-rich, bikini-ready green smoothie! Loaded with powerful superfoods like spinach and kale, celery, apple, banana and ginger! Just 136 calories per serving.
Guys.
I really really really need this smoothie right now.
Because the croissants. The charcuterie boards. The steak frites. The calories are adding up.
So as soon as we land in the US, we’ll pick up Butters and detoxify the entire weekend with this.
With plenty of superfoods and greens, we will be set for 2018. Plus, the banana and apple adds just enough sweetness so you may not even need the honey.
But first things first.
I need to indulge in my last few chocolate croissants in Paris before we head home!

What type of blender do you recommend for these drinks?
Tastes good even without honey! The ingredients naturally compliment each other.
So refreshing! I was hesitant at first because I’m not a fan of celery but it definitely adds positively to this smoothie. I only had frozen spinach and kale, used 2 cups of milk as well.
Tip: Blend the spinach and kale first with the milk first before adding the rest of the ingredients
Great flavor. Didn’t have ginger so only thing I omitted. I do have a question about texture. Supposed to be a little chewy? Or did I blend incorrectly? Ended up doing the smoothie setting three times with the ninja blender. Chew kale bits. Might try blending kale first by itself next time. Let me know if you have other tips!
I put mine through a blender too (I don’t have a juicer) and afterwards I pushed through a colander using a spatula. That helped it be a little more liquidy and drinkable rather than chewy. Saved the leftover thick fiber bits for a spread or to be used later on. Hope that’s a helpful option?
I modified this recipe by adding a Gala apple, 1 cup of frozen pineapple, and omitted the banana and ginger. Used only 1 rib of celery. It was delicious!
I love this smoothie,
Try adding a small portion of peeled and seeded cucumber to replace one stalk of celery, very refreshing.
Thanks for the idea , not a liver of celery!
This is my first time making a green smoothie and I will say the recipe is okay.. the taste of celery is very overpowering. I will try with only one celery rib and see how it tastes then. I also upped a lot on the honey.
Was looking for a green detox, and found you online. So I decided to try it, and was much surprise that it taste so good. Made the full recipe which made a little over 48oz. Thank you,
Like EVERYTHING on this site- it’s straightforward and delicious !!!
Excellent
Great smoothie
This is my go to recipe and has been for quite a while
Love the ginger x
WOW! I was not expecting this to be so YUMMY and healthy at the same time. This will be my daily lunch smoothie go to.
This smoothie is really nice and considering I detest both kale and spinach, that really says something. Definitely recommend it.
What size cup do you consider a serving? I’ve made this smoothie that past two days. It’s really good! I just feel 1 serving on this smoothie is really nothing. I’ve blended all the ingredients and able to serve in a 12-16oz cup.
This was so good I just downed all 4 servings at once. I probably missed the point..
Wow, this will definitely be one of my go to smoothies during the week!
Thank you for sharing this.
I received a Vitamix Pro 750 for Christmas, look out green smoothies
here I come…….
This green smoothie recipe deserves 5 stars for its ability to provide that needed boost of energy I’ve been wanting. I was looking for a detox green smoothie when I found this on the internet. The fist time I made it, it was incredibly sweet with added honey so I opted to leave that ingredient out the second time around. The apple and banana are sweet enough to flavor the smoothie. I plan to keep this recipe and use it again in the future. Thanks
Stumbled upon this in the morning wanting to make a green smoothie. I happened to have all the ingredients in the fridge! Perfectly balanced flavours. Delicious with a great boost of energy 🙂 thank you!
I loved it
