Coconut-Citrus Detox Green Smoothie
- 8 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 oranges, peeled and deseeded
- 1 medium banana, peeled
- 3-and-1/2 cup kale, chopped
- 1/2 lime, peeled
- Coconut, oranges and kale blend deliciously into this detoxing green smoothie recipe. A splash of lime adds a "zing" that is moderated by the sweetness of the banana.
- Start by adding the liquid to your blender (I use a Vitamix), followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.
