Glowing Green Smoothie for Glowing Clear Skin and Shiny Hair (Beauty Detox Solution)

[@curlymetal]

Totally! The reason being it fills you up and you end up eating less because of the high fibre content of green smoothies. The other great thing I have found is my cravings for bad food have pretty much disappeared since I started drinking green smoothies (this is coming from someone who loves chocolate etc), now I barely eat it at all. I am addicted to these smoothies!

[@strapyy5702]

It's best to drink it as soon as possible. The longer it is left out, the more the smoothie becomes oxidized, meaning that there will be less antioxidants to clean up your body. Take note of how an apple or avocado goes brown when exposed to oxygen. Or how a berry smoothie quickly loses it's rich color if not consumed immediately.

My family has been using green smoothies for about 6 months now. One of my favorite is to mix in spinach, kale and some arugula. Throw in some protein shake and hemp seeds. Makes a great smoothie and gives me a lot of energy in the morning...

[@vilmaDe]

I tried this (well I didn't have all of the ingredients, but I made it from what I had) and it worked wonders! Even my acne started clearing up. This is just amazing, thank you April so much! ^_^

[@laurenkeiser8509]

Thanks for the video! I've been drinking green smoothies for breakfast about 3x a week and I already notice a really big difference. My skin feels amazing!

[@veggielover16]

This smoothie looks super as it is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from all the veggies and fruits! What would make it even better would be to add a scoop of whey protein powder as it's important to include protein with every meal, especially breakfast.

[@raymundoo2879]

a personal tip, if it's kind of chewy, chew it! it helps release digest it better! Otherwise you may get bloated and it may cause gas and cramps.

[@nathilr2150]

I have tried this smoothie for a week now... and its so good... I just mix any fruits i have... but strictly stick to the greens.

[@AprilAthena7]

@Idna78 I kind of changed the recipe this morning and added water, romaine, spring mix, spinach, banana, apple, pear, grapes, lemon, cilantro and parsley---it was AMAZINGLY delicious! All I could taste was pretty much the banana. It was refreshing and GOOD!

[@litlprayer]

Some tips for viewers: In the method she used you can use pretty much any blender. If you get a really expensive good blender like a vitamix (or a cheaper: ninja) you can do this by putting all ingredients in at once and it will blend. For those who tasted this and found it to be nasty: Add crushed ice!! The colder it is, the easier it is to drink. And if its still nasty, use orange juice instead of water. Happy green smoothieing!

[@caffeinequeen38]

Yes. Kimberly Synder highly recommends using organic fruits and veggies. There are tons of pesticides present on conventional fruits and veggies. Not even rinsing them under water will remove the pesticides. But if you can't afford to buy them organic, you can find a Veggie Wash spray at a grocery store or health food store. Just follow the directions on the back of it. I prefer to buy all organic though.

[@kurdishgurl11]

I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i didn't have pears so i substituted with a mango. which is kinda opposite. . .ha and i didn't add cilantro or spinach. definitely something new lol.. but im slowly sipping the rest of the juice/smoothie. don't think i like it enough to make it again...so i'll just stick to a banana/strawberry smoothie. thanks April!

[@AprilAthena7]

@stacie030 True, you can soak your produce in apple vinegar to get rid of pesticides. I read it somewhere in her book I think.

[@secondstosmoothies4786]

Spinach is one of my favorite things to put in a smoothie :)

[@AprilAthena7]

@L4LA Sure! Thanks for watching!

[@AprilAthena7]

@blossomloveable Organic fruits are not sprayed with pesticides whereas nonorganic might have been exposed to pesticides. That's the difference. :)

[@AprilAthena7]

@sidekickdumpling The parsley and cilantro are optional in the book recipe. Yes, drink 16 ounces everyday for breakfast. :)

[@kevsegg]

If you blend it for long enough you won't have lumps. The banana helps make it smoother too. It might take some time depending on your blender but you can get it very smooth if you have patience. This is much better than juice because it retains the fibre of the fruit and veg.

[@AprilAthena7]

@Binkeh The book has a juice version if you are interested.

[@ttxoxott]

Literally just made this smoothie and its so good!

[@AprilAthena7]

@coffeebeans89 Organic fruits will have a label that says organic, it is free of chemicals and pesticides.

[@AprilAthena7]

@dashax3x YAY! Glad you liked it!

[@AprilAthena7]

@MaaryLiang I'm sticking to Kimberly Snyder's recipe because the apple juice might have too much sugar, but good idea on the taste.

[@AprilAthena7]

@12blin I got it from Stylemint. It is the prince t in olive green but at times it looks like a vneck in this video but it is a crew neck. It just hangs down a bit.

[@AprilAthena7]

@BeautySavvy Awww thank you so much for watching Shannon! :)

[@caffeinequeen38]

I don't know why people complaining about the taste. I'm 15 and have been making this since I was 13 and it always tastes good to me. Just drink up.

[@AprilAthena7]

@l2ainie I'm so sorry! I agree, it's a bit loud this time around. I will make it softer next time.

[@AprilAthena7]

@ClementineCutie Yes, I found out sugar does that unfortunately. I like to bake a lot but don't eat it all. I give it to Justin to bring to work. :)

[@AprilAthena7]

@TinkerLynne I taste the bananas more so than anything else. It also has a lemon taste. I can't taste the spinach at all.

[@AprilAthena7]

@tnguyen987 You should store it for only 2-3 days. Kimberly Snyder recommends making a new batch everyday in the book.

[@roxannereyes2267]

Wow! I am definetly going to try the beauty detox smoothie. I want to be more healthy and have glowing skin, so I believe a healthy lifestyle comes from good food. Thanks for the wonderful video!!!!

[@CynthiaDiamond]

Thanks April! After watching this, I got the book from the library and started the smoothies for the past 2 days. Can't wait to see how this will help me.

[@joshpowell7344]

i think this is a great idea especially for me i hate greens and wont eat them, and not eating greens causes me to have a lot stomach issues (colitis) bc i dont have enough greens and i think im going to try this

[@AprilAthena7]

@ThiaStiltonTV You are the amazing one for watching! :)

[@heemanpark]

Juice looks good and your personality is very bright. I enjoyed video, thanks.

[@brainzrightside]

i just tried it!! It doesnt taste bad at all.. LOVE it. :)

[@AprilAthena7]

@annestylez Sure, just make sure to thoroughly wash your produce.

[@AprilAthena7]

Add one more apple or banana and it will taste great!!!

[@yasminmohamud4810]

Thanks for sharing. You sure do have a beautiful skin .

[@jukes243]

April, this is the first time I've seen your video. Not only does the Smoothie sound good, but I'm impressed with you. You get straight to the point and don't waste our time rambling on about yourself. Thank you. I'll be watching more of your vids. Btw, your skin looks amazing.

[@AprilAthena7]

@kstelin That's so sweet of you to say!

[@AprilAthena7]

Breville. :D It recently stopped working so I had to buy a new kitchenaid blender but the Breville blender was great for more than 4 years!

[@Twinbranchesgardening]

I just found you trough Tati she recommended it to me because I don't have a juicer and you did the smootie in a blender so i can see how you do it. I am going to try this thanks you

[@StacieMarieGentile]

yes, thats probably the first thing it does, I am doing the GGS "glowing green smoothie" I have been since last year and I love 10 pounds in a week.. love it. Its funny how I only feel better physically and mentally when I drink this.

[@zd7403]

I wouldn't use lettuce at all. Deep green vegetables like kale would have been better. The nutrition in lettuce is very low and the majority of it is water so you wanna get your phytonutrients elsewhere. If there isn't enough liquid just add some cold green tea, ice or water.

[@pipergonzo6249]

I love this drink I make it all the time it's sooo good try it frozen :) it's the best and drinking it cold in the summers it's better than soda

[@AprilAthena7]

@Merzx3 LOL! I agree, it works so well!

[@natnichanannaksen5631]

Looks greenish healthy

[@ltime29]

So I went to Whole Foods so I can try this beauty detox and I have to say for someone who HATES vegetables, I actually like it. But the one thing that I have to get used to is the texture of the smoothie eek! But overall it tastes good (trust me) especially for all you people like me who can stand the tatse of vegetables LOL I have a lot of energy for some reason now, and I feel really good....like CLEAN good! LOL

[@Azukioable]

I always want to make a green smoothie, but I don't know how. Now I do. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

[@IMSOUK]

yeah very serious, i dont eat spinach normally, its like when u eat something your belly dont agree with u feel it like instantly, well i could feel it going through my body, was a new experience for my body, taste great, ...when i make it, and put it in the fridge i also leave the lemons in there to soak...that really brings out the flavour...

[@701ghoffman]

haha Kristan try cuttin back a bit on spinach and use baby spinach i find that lovely. and maybe increase time you blend(not too much tho). Nice video but I would say try to not have to make a habit of storing in fridge as the nutrients are more potent if you can drink it fresh :) your skin looks good already too.

[@AioKona]

I love smoothies and I have a recipe collection of it on Pinterest. I like your green smoothie recipe too. Sure looks like it has all those ingredients to achieve healthy looking skin!

[@mikahlactpo]

This look so awesome ! can't wait to try it ! I really want to purchase the book now, im a new college student and i've been under a lot of stress and it's been taking a toll on my face so i think this would be great for me!

[@yummiebitez]

I think I'm gonna try this. I can definitely use more energy in the morning! Thanks April!

[@BeautySavvy]

Good for you being so healthy! I would do this except I'm deathly afraid of raw spinach & most lettuces :\ but it actually looks delicious! I love your recipe vids!

[@AprilAthena7]

@coffeebeans89 I am not a fan of celery so it taste soo much better without celery. You can always mix and match. Add extra apples for extra sweetness. :D

[@ummrumaysah]

Looks good! You would add all of the ingredients at once and save time, with The Vitamix Blender.

[@AprilAthena7]

@Tea1018 Yes, sure.

[@Soulreaperjay]

Be sure to strain because all that excess pulp can make you bloated. Bananas have a lot of sugar so with the pear and apple, might be a bit too much sugar!

[@AprilAthena7]

@nickkiimon It's a great blender!

[@AprilAthena7]

@Glamournaily I tried kale from your comment and loved it! Thank you! :)

[@glittered453]

Green smoothies are great! For future reference leave out the banana, only apples and pears are great for green smoothies as other fruits with veg don't digest well together in the stomach :-)

[@AprilAthena7]

@CA9833 You might want to add more water or one more apple for extra sweetness. :D

[@musicbox2466]

can we just take a moment to appreciate a recipe without avocados, mangos or lime? thank you so much!

[@pepsico815]

I drink 2 green smoothies per day with kale, spinach, flax seeds, cucumber, spirulina, chlorella, blueberries, and tomatoes. I still have cystic acne. You can't say that green smoothies give you clear skin when you have perfect skin to begin with.

[@souleevanh]

looks very healthy and your skin loos glowing already! i will give it a shot :)

[@channiechan562]

I just bought a new blender, cant wait to try this. Thanks april!!!!

[@AprilAthena7]

@MellowMeww The book recommends it.

[@AprilAthena7]

@allisontai Mine leaks sometimes too, but there is the tool to tighten the bottom.

[@minadoe]

For beautiful skin.... I'll try this!

[@smileystar774]

Ok, now I have to try this. You make it look so good! What kind of blender are you using?

[@skinspausa]

You have beautiful skin! Thanks for the video!

[@AprilAthena7]

you usually want to drink this in the morning according to the Kim Snyder Beauty Detox solution book.

[@sumikatti]

Good thing I like celerey and can use all 3 stalks :D This drink tastes very good and nutricious. Celery is a very good for your health, it cleans your liver and that way your body and skin. I only used 1/2 cup of water because I would get too full if there's a lot of smoothie ..and I like it quite thick :) Thank you for sharing this recipe April!

[@jimbo2000jw]

i tried your recipe in my new NutriBullet...was awesome...thanks!!!

[@AprilAthena7]

@Pinkland21 Yay I am sooo happy for a healthy you!

[@StarGyrl]

This is different from the one I make daily, I'm up for some new ideas for I'm going to try your method.

[@MM-lw4zr]

OMG, April I've been your silent viewer for days now ... today I searched for Kale smoothies and after the first video I heard a familiar voice and was pleasantly surprised to see you... this video is from 2011 but you don't seem to have changed much (like many KZbinrs) you're as sweet as you are today 😊. ❤ from Issaquah WA

[@dadsfavor8]

she's beautiful!!!

[@AprilAthena7]

@glittered453 The book says to add banana in the recipe, probably for taste.

[@AprilAthena7]

@wildbabiii98 You can try spring mix. I love it like that!

[@AprilAthena7]

@MissaMUA I use a Breville blender.

[@AprilAthena7]

@ChineseAlie Keep the skin for the fiber.

[@Vilcis]

Because it starts to ferment. It's better to drink them as soon as possible or from the day before maximum.

[@MsNevaehlovely]

So looking forward to trying this ....gonna check out the beauty book too! THANKS!

[@GlamourKillsTian]

that doesnt look very tastely, but i will have it for breakfast everyday now! my dad has really high cholesterol and fibre is a major plus for his diet so im going to make enough for both of us! thanks for this recipe :D

[@AprilAthena7]

@skiddni Usually keep it for only 2 days max. You can a good fresh batch to drink everyday. :)

[@ChantalQC1969]

Just made the smoothie. I substituted the spinach with kale. I did not have a pear. Once you get passed the green color, it is quite good. The fruits give it a sweet taste because the greens are bland. I will definitely make on a weekly basis to start with and maybe work it up on a daily basis. Thank you.

[@dreamstar870]

i so want to try this , thanks for sharing!

[@AprilAthena7]

@VoiceFam This will help with acne!

[@AprilAthena7]

@soccerlily91491 It's not nasty at all, in my opinion. I am used to eating salads and greens regularly. Try adding bananas and grapes.

[@MidnightFlight01]

Definitely going to try this!

[@KassCap]

Thanks for sharing April! I got the idea off of you and enhanced it by watching another youtuber! Thank u

[@kunaalt]

Hello, you are so pretty. Please tell me how to do the full detox. Please please please. Give us menus or something lol. Do you only have it for breakfast? I just started, but I am unsure on how to do it. Would be grateful to get your advice. Thank you thank you thank you! :)

[@AprilAthena7]

@iiRawrrrx3 Yes, they are good!

[@AprilAthena7]

@Lliinamets Sure! :)

[@melindaglesil3798]

I have the same cup. Nice video I will def try this starting tonight

[@14lexington]

under 100 I love you April!
