Purple Detox Smoothie
It’s the New Year and many of us have made weight-loss related resolutions. Hopefully most of you have been able to stick to your resolution – so far so good over here! One great way to reach your weight-loss goal is with detox smoothies, and I have a great Purple Detox Smoothie recipe to share with you.
This easy to make smoothie is bursting with great flavour and good health. Forget about those liquid detox drinks that force you to plug your nose while chugging it back. This flavourful flush will nourish you with neutralizing, detoxifying and antioxidant rich ingredients. So go grab your blender and whip up the best detox smoothie you’ve ever had! Healthy has never looked or tasted better!
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen blueberries
1.5 cups frozen mix of raspberries, cherries, strawberries and black berries
1 cup baby spinach and Swiss chard mix
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons of hemp hearts
Directions:
Thoroughly wash your greens and rinse your frozen berries.
Fresh squeeze your juicing oranges into the blender then add your berry mix, greens and top with the blueberries and hemp hearts.
We use a Vitamix blender that processes smoothies in about minute, other blenders may take a little longer.
Letting the berries sit out at room temp for a little while will help in the blending process. You may also fill the pitcher to the blender the night before, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight so they will be cold but whip together in seconds in the morning.
Enjoy cold.

mmmm that looks fabulous!! I’m gonna have to give it a whip up.. i love smoothies!
Question – where do you find that frozen berry mix?
I just had my first purple smoothie in a very long time! It was so good 🙂
You have to get them all separately or use Europe’s Best who has a Berry Cherry Medley which is close. (strawberries, black currants, sweet & sour cherries, blackberries and blueberries)
i love the color. looks great!
Sounds very yummy!
Would love to try! Where do u get hemp hearts??
You can find them in the health food section of your grocery store. (I found them in the gluten free/organic section of the store.)
If not, any health food store should have them.
WOW this looks fantastic. It would be perfect after this past holiday binge! Thanks for sharing!
