- TO MAKE INTO A GREEN THICKIE Add:
- 1 Cup Spinach tightly packed or 2 cups loosely packed. (Or any other mild greens)
- 1 Cup Oats Or one cup of Quinoa
Instructions
- If your caramel is too hard, make sure you soften it first by placing the bowl/jar in another bowl of boiling water.
- Blend the ingredients in the order listed. If you are making a green smoothie blend the greens and liquid first and then blend the rest of the ingredients. This creates more space in your blender. Add more water if required to thin it out. Substitute any of the ingredients for whatever you already have. If your smoothie is too warm, you can cool it down in the fridge or freeze some of your ingredients before blending. It is better to add frozen ingredients at the end to cool the smoothie down.
- NOTE: The calories shown are for half of the fruit smoothie ingredients listed as this smoothie serves 2.

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

Hi, I’m Katherine. I lost 56 pounds and recovered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by replacing meals with Green Thickies – my original smoothie concept.

This looks AMAZING, I can’t wait to give it a try. Maybe today if I can find a banana! :)

I’m pretty sure I’d be happy to live off this smoothie! Banana walnut is a great combination, and when you add caramel, oh wow! I love caramel, toffee and fudge in any form so I stay away from it because I just couldn’t stop eating it if I started :-/
By the way, I thought you had stopped blogging because I’ve not been getting email updates – is it that they haven’t been sent or that I’m not getting them? I hope you had a nice stay with your family :)
Katherine Natalia @ Green Thickies says
Hi Jenny. Yes I know what you mean, I can’t stop eating caramel once I start too. Although this one is more apple tasting so I’m not sure I’d just eat it on it’s own. No I’ve not stopped blogging but I’ve not been blogging as often for a few reasons. One of which is that I’ve had a laptop which has been dying a death and became unusable. It would take me all week just to do one post but I’ve got a new one now so hopefully things will pick up a bit.
That’s not so good you’ve not been getting the emails. Are you signed up to feedburner or my email subscription with mailchimp? Maybe you could try and sign up again and let me know whether you start getting them. Thanks for letting me know.
I wonder if anyone else is having that problem.
