Sometimes, your body just needs a fresh start. I felt the same after a week of eating out and skipping my usual meals. That’s when I tried this Green Glow Detox Smoothie – and trust me, it made me feel lighter, fresher, and more energetic in just two days!

This smoothie is made with simple yet powerful ingredients – green apple, palak, kiwi, and coconut water. I usually make it in the morning or after a walk. It keeps me hydrated and full, without making me feel heavy or bloated.

Health Benefits
This smoothie supports skin health, digestion, and weight loss. Thanks to the fibre and vitamin-rich fruits and greens, it cleanses your system gently. Coconut water helps with hydration while ginger and lemon promote detox.

Let’s Talk About Ingredients

Palak leaves
Spinach or palak is rich in iron, fibre, and vitamins. Soaking in hot water helps soften the raw taste. You can replace with baby spinach or moringa leaves.

Green Apple
Gives a slight sweetness and tartness. It is rich in Vitamin C and fibre. If unavailable, use pear or regular apple.

Kiwi
Tangy and packed with antioxidants. Kiwi adds a smooth texture and lots of Vitamin C. You can skip if not available, but it adds a punch.

Celery Stem
A hydrating veggie that aids digestion and reduces bloating. Use 1/2 cup chopped. If you don’t have celery, cucumber works well too.

Ginger and Lemon
Both these give a fresh kick and help in digestion. Add 1 inch ginger and juice of 1/2 lemon.

Coconut Water
Natural electrolyte and hydrator. Use 200 ml. Avoid using milk or plain water here – coconut water makes it perfect.
