Green Detox Smoothie

Yield: 1-2
Total time: 5-7 min

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut water or water
• ½ cucumber cut into chunks
• 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
• 1 ripe fresh or frozen banana
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 handful of cilantro herb

Directions:

1. Put all the ingredients in the blender starting with coconut water, cucumber, pineapple, banana, and greens.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Tip:

• If you have a hard time digesting raw greens, you can make this into a juice but omit the banana. Blend all the ingredients except for the banana and strain the puree through a nut milk bag. Squeeze all the juice out and you will have yourself a green juice, with tons of nutrients instead of a smoothie.
