Zesty Kiwi Ginger Detox Smoothie Recipe

Ginger gives kiwi a backbone it doesn’t have on its own. This kiwi ginger detox smoothie is spicy and green, the sort of thing I make when I feel a cold creeping in.

Revitalizing Kiwi Ginger Detox Smoothie

The Zesty Kiwi Ginger Detox Smoothie is a delightful blend of ripe kiwi, refreshing spinach, zingy ginger, and creamy yogurt. This quick and easy recipe takes just 10 minutes and serves 1, making it an ideal choice for busy mornings or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
1 small piece of fresh ginger, about 1 inch, peeled and grated

1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup plain yogurt or dairy-free alternative
1/2 cup coconut water or almond milk
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the chopped kiwis, grated ginger, fresh spinach, yogurt, and coconut water or almond milk.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more coconut water or almond milk.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie, and if you prefer it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup, then blend again to combine.
Serve: Pour into a glass and add ice cubes if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Peel the ginger thin so you don’t lose any to the peeler. Blend it fine or a chunk will surprise you.
