Detox Smoothie

This is the perfect detox smoothie after a weekend of indulgence. (Kristin Porter)

"This gluten, dairy, and banana-free smoothie recipe is packed with good for you, detoxifying ingredients including baby spinach, orange, carrot, ginger, chia seeds and pineapple, which I used instead of a banana to thicken and sweeten the smoothie," says Kristin Porter of Iowa Girl Eats.
