Green Machines

Ok-you have heard enough about my detox for a few days. I will update you on the final few days soon,  but I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I ate or rather drank during the detox.

My favorites were Green Machines!

The first Green Machine was the Naked Brand Juice Smoothie! So delicious. I drank several bottles of this juice over the 10 day detox. It did look odd when I walked around with my reusable cup filled with green liquid, but I didn’t care, it was scrumptious.  I turned to the Naked Brand Juice Smoothie Green Machine during the detox because it is packed with so much and has no preservatives or added ingredients:

• 2 3/4 Apples
• 1/2 Banana
• 1/3 Kiwi
• 1/3 Mango
• a hint of Pineapple
• 1,300 mg Spirulina
• 400 mg Chorella
• 100 mg Broccoli
• 100 mg Spinach
• 50 mg Blue Green Algae
• 50 mg Garlic
• 75 mg Barley Grass
• 75 mg Wheatgrass
• 50 mg Ginger
• 50 mg Parsley

Now the second Green Machine was the one I created in my kitchen. I had always heard you could put spinach in your smoothies and never taste it, so I took this detox as an opportunity to test it out.

Start with your liquid on the bottom; orange juice and soy milk (you can replace the soy milk with Greek yogurt for extra protein). This will help everything mix better.

Then add in a banana, whole strawberries (stems and all), spinach, and kiwi.

Let it take a trip around the blender for a minute or two until well blended.

There you have it a Green Machine! Perfect morning energizer 🙂

** Not a spokes person for Naked Juice, nor are they paying me to review it. I only wish. I just think it is delicious!**
