For those of you who are still a little frightened of green smoothies, this one’s for you! If you are already a green smoothie aficionado, you’ll be extra excited to try out this recipe. Cilantro is a great cleansing herb, and with the right tools can even help you with your heavy metal detox! If you can’t find organic cilantro at your farmers market, try growing your own! If you don’t have space for a garden, it can easily be grown indoors or on a balcony in a pot.
What you’ll need (serves 2):
- 1 big handful of cilantro
- 1/2 of a large pineapple
- 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional)
- 1 cup filtered water
- ice
What to do:
- This one is nice and easy. Wash your greens very well, and toss them in the blender with your chopped pineapple, water and ice.
- I used to be a stickler for the sweetener with green drinks, but I forgot it once and realized that the drink is still awesome without. So that’s up to you.
- Blend until mixed and enjoy! If you don’t want to blend up the ice, you can also pour the smoothie over ice or drink room temperature if that’s your preference.
I always feel a boost of energy after drinking a cilantro smoothie. It’s completely the opposite feeling you get after eating a heavy meal like pizza or rice. Start your day off with cilantro and feel the power!
