Cleanse & Detox Smoothie: Dairy, Sugar & Gluten Free

 

Whether you’re feeling under the weather, feeling bloated from eating too many carbs or just simply feeling like you’ve over done it, maybe like after Thanksgiving, you may be in need of a cleansing detox smoothie to get yourself feeling back to normal. Green veggies are perfect for cleaning out toxins in your body. Eating them in the morning is not usually how you would start the day but making them into a smoothie and you’ve got a perfect solution to eat those greens!

Starting your day with one of these green babies is surely going to make your body happy. How do I know this? Because I’m no stranger to the overeating or overcarb-ing which cause me to feel horrible! I start fresh in the morning with this smoothie and I’m feeling much better knowing I took care of myself.

To be honest I was a green smoothie HATER, I really was! But I have turned over a new leaf, pun intended! 🙂 You can too, it’s good for you!

Choose whatever apples you have on hand, use sweetener or leave it out as the apples will sweeten your smoothie. However you adjust this recipe don’t remove the important stuff, like all the veggies!

The cucumber and celery make this super refreshing, I promise!  🙂

  1. When you mention flax seed, is it ground or whole? I heard (I’m new at this way of eating) that whole flax doesn’t digest and a person doesn’t get all the goodness unless the seed is cracked open

    • I mean groung flaxseed, you can buy it whole and grind it yourself or buy it already ground and store in the fridge.

  14. I was disappointed as I’ve been searching for different green smoothie options for my sugar detox, and while there is no added sugar here, the almond milk contains sugar and the stevia while not registering as a gram of sugar, has some negative physiological responses, especially for those craving sugar.

    So far though, great website.

    • There is no sugar in unsweetened almond milk. I’ve been using stevia for 14 years and have not had cravings for sugar since using it.
