Ingredients
8 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
2 oranges, peeled and deseeded
1 medium banana, peeled
3-and-1/2 cup kale, chopped
1/2 lime, peeled
Preparation
Coconut, oranges and kale blend deliciously into this detoxing green smoothie recipe. A splash of lime adds a “zing” that is moderated by the sweetness of the banana.
Start by adding the liquid to your blender (I use a Vitamix), followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

Serving Size: One. (This recipe makes a large, 32-ounce smoothie. It is a meal-replacement smoothie and not a snack. I recommend drinking half right away and the other half about 30 minutes later. If it is too much for you, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.)
