SkinnyMs Cleanse And Detox, a cleansing detox smoothie recipe, leans green and herbaceous, kale, parsley, and cilantro rounded by apple and banana so it stays approachable. Celery and cucumber keep it crisp and high in hydration, lemon brightens the finish. The result is clean, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy.
I pack tender kale leaves first so the blades catch them quickly, then add the sturdier veggies on top. A small knob of ginger plays well with the herbs if you enjoy a little spice.

Smoothie Making Tools Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using glass or BPA-free airtight storage containers with a resealable lid.
