CRAVING A RESET? TRY OUR WINTER GREEN SMOOTHIE

January 3, 2018

Well, the holidays are over and for some, it’s time for a reset. If you don’t feel like doing our juice or soup cleanses, no problem – they’re not for everyone. Instead, a “reset” can simply be enjoying healthy foods. For me, a reset always includes a smoothie: whenever I feel gross after a long weekend or holiday, or my body is simply craving a large influx of fresh fruits and veggies, I always start my day off with a smoothie. This January, it’s my winter green smoothie.

My smoothies differ from summer to winter. In the summer, I load up on fresh fruits in my smoothies, like fresh grapefruit in this Coolin’ Summer Smoothie. In the winter, I usually go for frozen produce like blueberries and spinach or make my warm smoothie recipe (it sounds weird, but don’t knock it till you try it). During the post-holiday season, here’s my favourite winter green smoothie recipe.

Winter Green Smoothie

This is similar to our Morning Glow Smoothie but without parsley and cilantro. Personally, I’m not a fan of cilantro in smoothies, but if you want to add the extra herbs – go for it! Also, if you want extra creaminess, feel free to throw in a 1/2 chunk of frozen banana or 1/2 an avocado.
