Green Citrus Detox Smoothie

Here’s a bright, nutrient-packed detox smoothie that’s easy to make and loaded with fresh produce to help flush toxins, boost hydration, and give you a natural energy lift. Feel free to tweak quantities to suit your taste!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup baby spinach (rich in chlorophyll and fiber)
  • ½ cup chopped cucumber (hydrating, anti-inflammatory)
  • 1 small green apple, cored and chopped (adds sweetness and pectin for digestion)
  • ½ ripe avocado (healthy fats for nutrient absorption)
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped (alkalizing and detoxifying)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled (aids digestion, anti-nausea)
  • Juice of ½ lemon (vitamin C boost, liver support)
  • 1 cup coconut water (electrolytes and hydration)

Optional: handful of fresh parsley or cilantro (extra cleansing and detox support)

Ice cubes, as needed

  1. Wash all produce thoroughly.

  2. Chop cucumber, apple, celery, and avocado into blender-friendly pieces; peel the ginger.

  3. Squeeze the lemon half into the coconut water.

  4. Add spinach, cucumber, apple, celery, avocado, ginger, and herbs (if using) to the blender.

  5. Pour in the lemon-infused coconut water.

  6. Blend on low, gradually increasing to high until smooth.

  7. Add ice cubes and blend again if you want a thicker, colder texture.

  8. Taste and adjust: stir in banana slices or honey/maple syrup if too tart; add more liquid if too thick.

  9. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a lemon wheel or parsley sprig if desired.

  • Chlorophyll & fiber from spinach and parsley help sweep out toxins and support healthy gut function.

  • Hydration from cucumber and coconut water keeps cells plump and helps kidneys flush waste.

  • Healthy fats in avocado aid absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and keep you full longer.

  • Ginger & lemon stimulate digestion and support liver detox pathways.

Enjoy daily or every other day as part of your detox routine!
