Green Detox Smoothie

Whenever I am craving something to help me feel more energized and glowing I make a detox smoothie.

First off, what is a detox smoothie?

A detox smoothie (at Live Well by Kimmy) is a smoothie that is packed with fruits, vegetables and herbs that have cleansing properties. This smoothie would contain dark leafy greens, herbs like cilantro or parsley and foods like ginger and citrus fruits to support the liver and digestion through the natural detoxification process.

While I love a “detox” smoothie, I don’t love one that tastes or looks unappealing. I want my detox smoothie to taste delicious and be vibrant in color to make it more enjoyable.

This detox smoothie is both delicious and beautiful in color. Plus it contains all of the foods to support your whole wellbeing.
