St Patricks Day Green Smoothie

It's St. Patrick's Day and I want something green. There is nothing like a green smoothie to help detox, get rid of bloat, and energize the body! Green smoothies are easy to digest, are nourishing and a cinch to make.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day in addition to wearing green, why not treat yourself to this delicious green detox!

I've said it before-

Raw greens are the best choice to help cleanse the body and help alkalize it : Two ingredients needed for weight loss and optimal health.

Using smoothies to cleanse is like taking out the garbage. We accumulate toxins through what we eat , digest, and breath. Detoxing helps the body rid toxins and take a burden off the liver ( which is our body's filter; if the liver is clogged, it doesn't work efficiently.

I originally saw the recipe for this green detox smoothie in the Nov 25 2013 issue of Woman' s World Magazine. It was a great article about how to do a Smoothie Diet and take off 5 pounds in 3 days.

The article offered a variety of detoxes including a green detox smoothie, a red detox smoothie, a detox soup for dinner, and an almond milk smoothie for a snack. I followed their detox suggestions for the suggested 3 days, and was pleased that I lost 4 and half pounds and didn't feel hungry.

The green detox was my favorite: It's perfect for a healthy St. Patrick's Day Celebration
