I have a new smoothie recipe for you! This is my Strawberry Green Smoothie. I don’t know about you, but I had indulged a lot over the holidays. So after Christmas was over, I decided to quit all sugar, including maple syrup, for a while. It was HARD, but I did it! Once I had been sugar free for 3 days, I started a really good smoothie cleanse. It’s called the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse
I really enjoyed this particular cleanse because it allows you to snack in-between the smoothies. Some of the allowed snacks are nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. You can also eat hard boiled eggs, but I didn’t because I am vegan. Another great discovery I made, was that water works just as well as almond milk when blending smoothies. I really didn’t even notice a difference! So I am using water from now on.

Recipe Notes
If the smoothie is not sweet enough for you, feel free to add more fruit. I was trying to keep the sugar count down, so I used the lower sugar fruits.
