Green Smoothie is a healthy detox drink that has gained immense popularity for all its health benefits. A quick and easy way to detox and a tastier one as well.
Every New Year most of us make resolutions to better our health. I have taken it more seriously this time and sticking to a healthier diet. The tastier i make my diet, the longer the chances of sticking to it. Early morning green smoothies are something that i have introduced into my diet. It not only keeps me full but helps in detoxing.
I buy everything i need to put in the green smoothie once a week and make packets and freeze them. This makes my life easier and i am sorted for a week. Every morning i just need to blend it.
I am a part Culinary Council of KitchenAid India. And the recipe for Green Smoothie is my contribution to their Blog. Hence i have mostly used KitchenAid Products.
