AIP Friendly Vegan Green Detox Smoothie
This vibrant green smoothie is cool, refreshing, and packed with ingredients that genuinely make you feel good from the inside out. Baby spinach and cucumber bring a clean, mild base, while frozen banana adds natural creaminess and just enough sweetness to balance the bright zing of lemon and ginger. The green apple keeps things lively without any added sugar, making every sip feel light and energizing rather than heavy or syrupy. For anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol, finding a grab-and-go option that checks every box can be a real challenge — this one does it effortlessly with whole, unprocessed ingredients and zero nightshades or grains to worry about. Coconut water is a lovely swap for plain water if you want a subtle tropical note and a little extra electrolyte boost. Optional chia seeds blend right in and add a gentle thickness along with some extra fiber. Blend it up, pour it into two glasses, and drink it immediately for the best color, texture, and flavor.
