Hey guys, today I want to share a nourishing green smoothie recipe from the lovely Elyse Wagner of The Kitchen Shrink blog. This detox smoothie will help you get your glow on with an irresistible array of fresh fruits and vegetables. The combination of kale, spinach, banana and lemon come together in a rainbow of flavour—even better than Skittles!
This smoothie is from Elyse’s eBook Smoothie Secrets Revealed: A Guide To Enhance Your Health. When I first got a copy of it, I thought it would just be another smoothie recipe book, but it’s so much more than that.
There are 160 pages of goodness: a nutrient-density guide to foods and ingredients, functions of different vitamins and minerals, recipes for making your own nut and seed milk and butter, making fermented drinks, morning mantras, shopping tips and of course, 30 days of gorgeous smoothies, like this Glowing Green Goddess detox smoothie. Basically, if you want to drink smoothies while geeking out on some nutritional know-how, this is your gem!
