I went on a juice fast about a month ago for five very, very long days. Now, I wasn’t a huge fan of not chewing any of my foods, but I do love smoothies regularly. Here are a few recipes I came away from Sip with for Green Smoothies.
Good Morning Green Smoothies
- 10-16 oz cold filtered water
- 2 cups spinach (If you are new to green smoothies start with spinach. In time, switch to 1/2 spinach 1/2 kale, and then try all kale.)
- 1-2 unpeeled apples
- 1 banana
- 2 stalks celery
- small handful of parsley (parsley can over power the smoothie, add more or less depending on your taste for the plant!)
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1/2 grapefruit
(use a whole orange if grapefruit is not an option due to certain medication interactions)
blend in high speed blender with a few ice cubes
*start with 10 oz of water and add more as needed*
- 10-16 oz cold filtered water
- 2 cups spinach and kale mixed (one or the other is fine too)
- small handful parsley
- 1/2 – 3/4 cucumber
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple
- 1 banana
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 T lemon juice
blend with ice
Enjoy!

Do you have any green smoothie ideas without fruit? I know that sounds weird but I can no longer enjoy ANY fruit, sad, I know. Do you ever add protein?
I don’t…but there are prob a ton on the interwebs.
