12 Days of Smoothies: Daily Detox Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1-2 handfuls of Kale blend
• Vanilla Plant or Paleo Power protein
• ½ cup chopped cucumber
• 1 stalk celery
• 1 green apple
• 2 T juice from lemon
• a few frozen mango chunks
• pure filtered water

Instructions: Blend the greens with lemon juice and water. Add the protein and enough mango to desire sip or spoon thickness. Flips to love: Natural detoxifying and hydrating ingredients and a fresh taste that will get you back on track the “morning after” a lot of holiday cheer. This is also a great for skin and it’s spring fresh to take you through any season shining. Trying to choose between protein powders? Paleo (inspired – you need not be eating “paleo” to love it) is full of collagen that enhances skin better than botox so the saying goes. Collagen is also amazing for your joint health as well as skin, hair, and nails – bonus! You don’t need to add additional collagen to your shakes – it’s all in there! Muscle loss sparing, metabolism boosting, and additional collagen for your health. Paleo vanilla is my most popular. I love it… but I’m a chocolate girl. If you prefer to go plant when possible, Plant Power protein is the second most popular (and these two are neck and neck in popularity- homecoming queen and runner up). Both offer 21 grams of protein. Perfect for pairing with hemp hearts, chia, or nuts for additional protein you want at each meal. If you struggle to get veggies in every day, find it hard to find high quality protein for every meal, a smoothie is an economical and easy way to do it. To your muscle, your skin, and your longevity! If you love the convenience, you’ll love my smoothie and smoothie bowl recipe collections (plus an extra section on what “add-ins” to use to fuel your hormone-balance with a sprinkle before you blend). The 12 days of smoothies recipes are included and you’ll find so many others! P.S. Don’t forget the Fiber Boost  – it’s my secret for staying full, satisfied, and regular!
