Ingredients for this 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse

2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup kale (stems removed)
1 avocado (pitted and peeled)
2 kiwis (peeled and sliced)
1 small cucumber (sliced)
1 green apple (cored and chopped)
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 cups cold water (adjust for desired consistency)
1 handful fresh parsley (optional for extra detox benefits)
Ice cubes (optional for a chilled finish)

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Wash the spinach, kale, cucumber, and parsley thoroughly. Peel the avocado and kiwis, then slice them into manageable pieces. Core and chop the green apple to remove seeds.

Step 2: Blend the Greens First

Add the spinach, kale, and parsley to your blender with 1 cup of cold water. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the greens are fully broken down and smooth.

Step 3: Add the Fruits and Avocado

Add the chopped apple, kiwis, and avocado to the blender. Pour in the lemon juice for a fresh zing. Blend again on high for another 30-45 seconds.

Step 4: Adjust Consistency

If your smoothie is too thick, add additional water in small amounts and blend until you achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a colder drink, toss in a few ice cubes and blend for an extra 20 seconds.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with a small broccoli floret or a kiwi slice for a decorative touch. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient boost!

Storage Instructions

For optimal freshness, consume your green smoothie immediately after blending. However, if you need to store it:

Refrigerator: Pour the smoothie into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking.
Freezer: For longer storage, pour the smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze. When ready to drink, blend the frozen cubes with a bit of water or juice to refresh the texture.
