• fresh spinach – Use ripe or baby spinach for the best detox smoothie recipes, just make sure it’s clean and free of wilted leaves. No need to chop it up!
• avocado – make smoothies creamy and add a dose of healthy fats.
• Frozen Pineapple Chunks – Adds natural sweetness, vitamin C and tangy flavor. You can substitute fresh pineapple if you like, or fresh strawberries for low-carb pineapple.
• Coconut water – Contains electrolytes to aid in hydration. Just be sure to get the unsweetened one.
