Recipe FAQs

→ What makes this smoothie detoxifying?

The combination of leafy greens like romaine and spinach provides chlorophyll and fiber, while lemon juice supports natural cleansing processes in your body. Chia seeds add omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation.

→ Can I prepare this ahead of time?

For best results and maximum nutrient retention, blend and enjoy immediately. However, you can prep ingredients the night before by chopping greens, slicing fruit, and measuring liquids. Store in separate containers in the refrigerator until ready to blend.

→ What can I substitute for the banana?

If you prefer to avoid bananas, try adding 1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple for natural sweetness and creaminess. Avocado also provides a smooth texture without the fruit flavor, while adding healthy fats.

→ Is this suitable for a cleanse program?

This blend works well as part of a balanced cleanse, offering essential vitamins, minerals, and hydration. The fiber from greens and chia seeds supports healthy digestion while the natural sugars from fruit provide steady energy without spiking blood sugar.

→ How can I make it more filling?

Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder, 1/4 avocado for healthy fats, or 2 tablespoons nut butter. You can also blend in 1-2 tablespoons oats for extra fiber and sustained energy throughout your morning.

→ Why use frozen banana instead of fresh?

Frozen bananas create a thicker, creamier texture without needing ice, which would water down the flavors. They also make the beverage frosty and refreshing, especially beneficial during warmer months or after workouts.
