Post # 3 of the Detox Smoothie

Today I want to share with you a very good smoothie using fresh Orange juice, frozen Pineapple and Spinach.

                                            Orange Pineapple Green Smoothie

1 1/3 cup fresh squeezed Orange Juice
1  handful of Fresh Spinach
4 or 5 Basil leaves    optional
1 inch of Ginger Root    or less. 
1 cup or more Fresh Frozen Pineapple chunks.

I add my Reliv powder supplements in my smoothies at times.  This was my breakfast.

You could add 1/4 of a piece of Avocado to make this thicker. 
If you don't have frozen you could use 1/2 cup of ice to chill your drink.

Tip:  I chop leftover fruit and freeze in bags.
        Left over Avocado frozen in a bag in portions I will use.
        Put your Ginger Root in a plastic bag in the freezer.  You can shave it with a knife or shred it still frozen.  Be sure to put it back before it thaws too much.
      Also freeze leftover fresh juice like Lemon and Oranges, etc. in ice cube tray.  When frozen, they are popped out and collected in a bag for use in smoothies or the flavored water drinks.

Fresh greens like Spinach and Kale are not strong flavored in raw form and blend with other fruits and vegetables in a very pleasing way.  If you are doubting, try a few leaves.

Ginger is good for digestive issues, as is pineapple.  Unless you gave a candida problem you are treating, pineapple and bananas are full of nutrients.  Greens are power foods in themselves.

However, if you are taking some pharmaceutical drugs or have certain conditions that prohibit using certain foods, you will know what foods to avoid.  I will probably give a few smoothies or drinks that can be used by you.
