5 Healthy & Delicious Detox Smoothies + Video!

5 Healthy and Delicious  Smoothies that will help you with your healthier eating goal this year! Paleo, Whole 30 compliant recipes with no bananas, dairy and refined sugar free! Plus step-by-step video!

With the start of the new year, most of us are looking to include more clean and healthy recipes after all the heavier meals and desserts over the holidays!

Nothing helps to reset and recharge your digestive system like a delicious super-food power smoothie. Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to start the day especially when I know I’m going to have a jam-packed day of working on my feet.

They are SO simple to make and so easy to swap in your favorite fruit and veggies. By combining the right combination of ingredients, you can create smoothies that taste great and may even help you lose weight if that is your goal for 2017.

Today I am sharing FIVE easy smoothie recipes that are perfect as part of a healthy breakfast, pre or post workout snack or a quick pick me up to help keep you full until your next meal.

Most of these are only 5 Ingredients or less and full of fiber, proteins, and healthy fats and are also completely SUGAR FREE, banana-free, vegan/dairy-free. They’re also perfect if you are looking for recipes that are WHOLE 30 or paleo-friendly. 

SWEETENER

All of these recipes are sugar-free but depending on your diet and preference, you are totally free to add these refined sugar free options or a sweetener of your choice:

• maple syrup
• raw honey
• ripe banana
• dried dates
• fresh grapes

MAKE AHEAD

All of these recipes can be prepped ahead of time if your mornings are pretty crazy like ours. Simply place the solid ingredients into a labeled zip-top bag and store them in the freezer. Then in the morning, choose the smoothie flavor you feel like having that morning….add liquid and blend.

LIQUIDS

You can also change up the smoothies with any of these choices instead:

• water
• coconut water
• green tea
• almond milk (or milk of your choice)
• ripened banana (adds thickness as well)
• water kefir

And the best part is, if you have a high powdered blender, it whips all of these smoothies together in seconds.
