Having an amazingly delicious healthy smoothie in the morning will work wonders for you and your family. You might be thinking, “Does the smoothie really glow?”. The simple answer is no, the glowing green smoothie doesn’t glow, but once you make it part of your morning regimen, you’ll shine.
The benefits of a glowing green smoothie include high energy levels throughout the day and glowing skin in no time.
A green smoothie is perfect for people on any diet—vegetarian, vegan, and is also gluten-free. Your general health will improve, and so will your digestion thanks to the fibre.
This article discusses how you can make a glowing green smoothie using green apple and spinach as the primary ingredients and how you can make variations to your glowing green smoothie. We have factored in apples as they are the go-to fruits for anyone looking to detox.
Mix things up when making your green smoothie
There are variations to making a smoothie, which means you can switch up the ingredients so that the glowing green smoothie fits you precisely. If you do not want any sugar in your diet, avoid putting in sweet fruits such as banana, berries, or sweet apples. You can also add in some chia seeds if you want more fibre in your diet.
If you prefer a creamier smoothie, then you can add some almond milk to the smoothie. But if you want to shake things up a bit, you can try cacao powder.
Cacao powder is packed chock full of flavonoids proven to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and even reduce the risk of diabetes by increasing your body’s sensitivity to insulin.
If you have a sweet tooth, you can add a few variations like stevia sugar to boost the sweetness.
Since the glowing green smoothie recipe is meant to help you detox and lead a healthy life, we wouldn’t recommend anything like sugar or any other processed foods.
Some people occasionally add some protein powder to increase their protein intake. However, remember to consult with your physician to get the right amount of protein powder to add to your diet—too much protein might end up damaging your liver or kidneys because it gets sifted out of the body.
