By Nutritionist: Kelly Carter BASc (Hons), CNP

Detox never tasted so great! Blending together kale or spinach for the micronutrients, cucumber and celery for the cleansing benefits and chia + spirulina to draw out toxins gives this smoothie so much detoxing power!

You will love the addition of banana and pineapple – because you won’t taste the other ingredients!

1/2 English cucumber, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped

1 cup pineapple (frozen)

½ teaspoon spirulina powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup cold, filtered water
