After our recent trip to the beach and indulging in some yummy food and drinks, my body needs a much needed detox. Here are a couple of things I found to help: 

Prep time: 5 minutes

Yield: 1 serving

Serving size: 1 drink

Ingredients

  • 1 banana, frozen if possible
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 handfuls kale
  • ½ Tbsp all-natural, organic peanut butter
  • ½ red or green apple, chopped
  • ½ cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almondmilk
  • ½ cup - ¾ cup ice if not using frozen banana
  • Optional*:
  • 1 tsp Stevia® or honey (optional)
  • *Optional ingredients are not included in nutrition calculations.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until drink has reached desired consistency.
  2. If not using a frozen banana, then add ½ cup to ¾ cup chopped ice cubes to blender.

I left out the peanut butter, almond milk, and sweetener. I didn't have it on hand. It was still very tasty. You just have to get over the fact it's green!!
