A smoothie a day keeps the belly bloat away

So I have had so many people ask me about my detox smoothies, I figured this is the best way to let you all have a copy of them! I tend to mix and match them up often, and most of the time I usually add double the kale (sometimes) I like to taste my green healthy goodness!

So First I made Some detox water, I used the Jillian Michael detox water I like the taste of dandelion root and drink it every so often (I drink a lot of tea) I use this tea in place of yogurt or other juices that are mixed with smoothies.

 

60 oz distilled water (I usually just use pure drinking water but that was before when I didn't know this was actually Jillian Michaels detox water)
1 T 100% pure cranberry juice (no sugar, non-cocktail, I used what I had, I have never added it before so figured I would this time around)
2 T lemon juice
1 dandelion root tea bag ( I Used 2 but I drink dandelion root every so often anyways)

 

 

I poured distilled water into a microwave safe cup and brewed the tea as directed (Except I used 3, I don't recommend using more unless you drink detox type herbs regularly) 

then added the remainder of the ingredients to the jug 1 us gallon of water is approximately   128 us fluid ounces so your doubling the recipe.  Once the tea was cooled I poured back into the jug added a few more tbs of lemon ( I love lemon) and put it in the fridge!

 

 

 

Then I Gathered my detox smoothie list and went shopping! They are not in any particular order for any reason I just jotted them down  in what I was remembering and what ones I had complied on my phone first! The green energy smoothie is just a all time favorite green smoothie of mine and my little girls.

 

 

 

After shopping (which by the way I mistakenly bought cilantro instead of parsley don't know how that happened I swear I grabbed parsley) I went home and chopped it all up and put it into bags for the next week! Any of the smoothies with bananas I froze and the raspberry one I froze too the others I just keep in my fridge, but any of them can be stored in freezer. I usually wait with any lemon and add it when I blend them, AND sometimes (OKAY MOST OF THE TIME) throw in chai seeds to any of them just because I love chai! I Add about a cup or two of ice and a cup or two of the detox water to each smoothie mix!

 

OH and I label all my bags with which number they are so its a quick find.

AND TADA!!!!! One week worth smoothies prepped!! 

 

One step closer to eating cleaner, and healthier!
