Liver Detox Smoothie
Description
Liver Detox Smoothie mixes ripe banana, crisp green apple, peeled carrot, baby spinach, fresh turmeric root, and chopped parsley with walnuts and hemp protein powder to form a wholesome beverage. The ingredients are blended with unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice, resulting in a creamy, vibrant drink that carries mild sweetness from the fruit and earthiness from the turmeric and spinach. A pinch of cinnamon and black pepper enhance absorption of turmeric and add subtle spice notes. The flavor profile combines fruit sweetness, fresh greens, and warm spices offering a refreshing way to intake nutrient-rich produce. The smoothie can be adjusted for sweetness with honey or additional cinnamon. This blend is suitable for those seeking a plant-based protein boost paired with green vegetables and anti-inflammatory spices.
Ingredients
- 1 banana peeled, ripe
- 1/2 green apple cored and chopped
- 1 medium-sized carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 (1/4-inch) nub turmeric root peeled
- 1 Tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
- 3 walnut halves
- 2 Tbsp hemp protein powder or protein powder of choice
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 pinch cinnamon optional
- 3/4 cup almond milk see note, unsweetened

Instructions
- Add all ingredients for the smoothie to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Taste smoothie for flavor and add more cinnamon and/or some honey to taste.
Notes
- Substitute banana with 1/2 cup chopped papaya for those with banana intolerance; papaya also supports liver health.
- Use orange juice instead of almond milk for a sweeter, more tropical flavor.
- Including black pepper with turmeric improves absorption; consume together for best benefits.
