Are you feeling a little bored of regular smoothies?
Sometimes just drinking our meals can get a bit samey.
But I tell you what, one thing I never get bored of is all that extra energy, not gaining excess weight, clear skin and good digestion!
But yes I do admit it, sometimes my taste buds need a little pick me up.

So what’s a health lover to do?
Make luxury smoothies!
While my kids were at home for the holidays I spruced up their regular smoothies (Green Thickies) by giving them the extra wow factor.
My new creations were inspired by these fabulous recipes below.
Hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
1) Layered Smoothie
Wow your guests with a beautiful layered smoothie like this rainbow smoothie from The First Year.
2) Smoothie Art
Don’t just make smoothies, make art by pressing some fruit inside the glass before you pour in your smoothies! Check out these perfect examples at Pop Sugar.
3) Smoothie Bowl
If you’re looking for a way to get your kids or partner to eat more fruit and veg, blow their minds with a gorgeous green smoothie bowl like this one from Green Thickies. They won’t even notice there is a green smoothie underneath with all these pretty toppings on top. And if they really don’t like green smoothies but you still want them to eat their greens, just add some dark berries to the blender to turn the smoothie purple!
4) Blue Smoothies
Ever fancied a blue mermaid smoothie bowl? How pretty is this smoothie from Greens Of The Stone Age. Can this color blue even be natural? It sure can! This smoothie bowl is made with blue spirulina which is a natural blue algae. Get yours by clicking here
5) Smoothie Popsicles
Who could turn down this pretty coconut raspberry smoothie popsicle by Laurin Caris Cooks.
6) Smoothie Inside A Pineapple
Just pouring your regular smoothie into a pineapple or watermelon will give it that extra wow factor. Just like this gorgeous pineapple smoothie by The First Year.
7) Smoothie With Toppers
Just adding toppers to the top of your smoothie or smoothie bowl will give it that luxury look and feel. Wondering what ingredients to add to your smoothie? Check out this article by Green Thickies which gives you 100 different smoothie toppers to choose from.
8) Smoothie With Acai
Using Acai powder in your smoothies, gives it a beautiful deep red color that people find it hard to resist. Great for weight loss and tastes amazing. What’s not to love? Try this gorgeous Acai Smoothie bowl from Green Thickies.
9) Smoothies That Taste Like Dessert
If you tell someone that you just made them a salted caramel smoothie – do you think they’re going to turn it down? Nope didn’t think so! Especially not if it looks as good as this bowl from Alpha Foodie!
10) Warming Hot Chocolate Smoothies
Sometimes, no matter how much you dress up your smoothies, people are just too cold to eat them in winter. So why not tell them you made them a hot chocolate smoothie to warm them up. They will love you forever! Get all the goodness of regular green smoothies but none of the shivers with this Warming Winter Smocolate by Green Thickies.

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
