Talk about a de-bloat & detox combo!

 

This smoothie hit the spot! I usually don’t enjoy smoothies during the winter, but my body was craving some concentrated nourishment after this weekend’s parties, and this smoothie didn’t disappoint.

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut water

1 cup loosely packed cilantro

1 cup spinach

1 cup cucumber

1 cup pineapple

juice of 1 lemon

1 tbsp ginger grated

½ avocado

Two scoops vanilla protein powder

 

Check out these benefits:

Coconut water: vitamins, minerals, electrolytes (potassium!), regulates PH

Lemon Juice: boosts the immune system, aids in digestion, flushes the liver and kidneys

Cilantro: detoxes heavy metals, helps lower blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, helps improve sleep quality

Ginger: helps with digestion, reduces inflammation, improves cholesterol levels, and lowers blood sugar.

Protein powder: supports muscle growth & keeps your blood sugar balanced. Remember always to include a good source of protein with every meal for blood sugar balance.

Save this recipe for when you need a nourishing “reset.”
