Green Smoothie Recipe for a Kidney Cleanse

When I started drinking green smoothies, I was amazed at how much better I felt—more energy, improved digestion, and just an overall great mood.

A couple of years ago, I took on a 90-day green smoothie challenge where I experimented with different recipes and tracked how they made me feel. It was such an eye-opener, and I even made a video about my experience, which I’ll share at the end of this post!

Since then, I’ve learned a few things. For example, experts recommend not drinking green smoothies more than three times a week because the high fiber content can sometimes cause bloating. But don’t worry! I’ve found a good balance. Now, I enjoy them a couple of times a week, especially this green smoothie recipe, which is easy on the stomach and a refreshing way to support your kidneys while giving your body a boost. This recipe is simple, tasty, and a great addition to your morning routine.Looking for a smoothie that can help get things moving? check out this Papaya smoothie for constipation relief.

My Blender Recommendation

To get the best texture and flavor, you need a good blender. Before I bought my Vitamix, I went through so many blenders—I’d end up buying a new one almost every year. My Vitamix, though? I’ve had it for seven years, and it’s still going strong. It’s a big investment, but one I never regretted. I did have to replace the blender jar after four years, which cost about $100, but it’s still my go-to tool. Trust me, a powerful blender makes all the difference for smooth, creamy blends!

FAQ About Green Smoothies

1. Can you put a smoothie in the fridge?
Yes, you can store your smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Just shake or stir before drinking—it may separate.

2. Do green smoothies help with digestion?
They can! Thanks to their fiber content and fresh ingredients like parsley and lemon, green smoothies can support regularity and your body’s natural balance.

3. What happens if I drink a green smoothie every day?
It might give you more energy and help you stay on track with hydration and fiber intake. Just remember that moderation is key—some people experience bloating from too much fiber, so it’s good to listen to your body.
