You can turn this recipe into a green smoothie by including the optional leafy greens in this recipe.

Using frozen smoothie ingredients

Sometimes using frozen fruit can actually be healthier than fresh fruit as they are frozen soon after picking, rather than sitting in a warehouse or being transported over the other side of the world.

Another benefit of using frozen fruit is that it makes your smoothie lovely and cold so you can drink it straight away. You will definitely need to add your liquid first and make sure your particular brand of blender can handle frozen ingredients.

Rippled Raspberry Smoothie

Rippled Raspberry SmoothieIf you can find frozen mango for this smoothie, you’ll be able to whip this smoothie up in no time at all with no chopping required.  Couldn’t be better!

To create the raspberry ripple swirl, just add a teaspoon of coconut milk to the middle and use the end of the spoon to swirl it around. Kids will love this.

As always, I recommend adding greens to this smoothie.  It won’t be as pretty, but maybe you could add greens to half the smoothie and enjoy the pretty pink smoothie in the other half.

Instructions
 

  • 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.

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

  2. I don’t usually like raspberry and mango together but I bet I’d love it with coconut milk. Coconut milk has a way of making everything better :D

    I like the quotes :)
