TIPS FOR GREEN DETOX SMOOTHIE

• Use chilled ingredients or add a few ice cubes before blending for an extra cold smoothie.

• You can prep the apple and cucumber the night before to save time in the morning.

• Adjust the lemon juice to taste if you prefer a more or less tangy flavour.

VARIATIONS

• Add a small piece of ginger for a spicy kick and extra detoxifying benefits.

• Include a tablespoon of flaxseeds for added fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.

• Substitute coconut water with aloe vera juice for an alternative hydrating option.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge: Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before consuming.

• Freezer: Pour leftover smoothie into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend the cubes with coconut water later for a quick, refreshing drink.
