Spring Clean Your Recipes: Delicious Reset Smoothies to Start Anew
At the start of the week, we talked about spring cleaning your health habits. To aid you in that process, explore the three reset smoothies outlined in today’s recipe guide. Each smoothie is bursting in vitamins, minerals, detoxing compounds, and antioxidants. Think of it as a quick and efficient way to reset your entire diet and give your body a nutritional “spring cleaning.” Best of all, each of these reset smoothies takes just seconds to make, and nutritionists say that the blending process helps your body to better absorb the smoothie’s nutrients.
BREAKFAST: Coffee Lover’s Smoothie
You can have your coffee, and eat it too! This breakfast shake energizes you in more ways than one. The chilled coffee (make a big pot ahead of time and store it in your fridge) adds caffeine. The healthy fats in the seed butter and the coconut milk fuel your body and mind all day long. And the banana and cauliflower energize you with antioxidants (while also supporting your immune system).
1 c brewed coffee, chilled in the fridge
1 frozen banana
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp seed butter (e.g. flaxseed butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.)
¾ c frozen cauliflower
1/4 c unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
LUNCH: Green Salad Smoothie
Perfect for at home or on-the-go, all of these flavorful reset smoothies are essentially a salad in a glass. And this one goes above and beyond, providing several servings of vegetables, plus gut-boosting apple cider vinegar and metabolism-enhancing lemon juice. A single glass nets you more than a full day’s worth of vitamin C and vitamin A, plus lots of inflammation-soothing polyphenols and cell-protecting flavonoids for long-term health and wellness.
1 c ice cubes
2 c lettuce
2 cup spinach
1/2 whole avocado, pitted and removed from shell
1 cucumber
1 green apple, cored
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp organic, raw apple cider vinegar
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy. Enjoy!
DINNER: Green Goddess Keto-Friendly Smoothie
End your day of reset smoothies with this rich, nutritious shake. If you’ve never tried a smoothie for dinner before, this might change your entire perspective.
Unlike smoothies for the morning and lunchtime, you want something that’s heavier and richer to really satisfy you and cap off the day well. This high-protein, high-fat, low-carb smoothie does exactly that.
1 c kale leaves
1 avocado, pitted and removed from the shell
1 stick celery
1 cucumber
1 cup nut milk
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp hemp hearts
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
