I am a Kimberly Snyder enthusiast. I read The Beauty Detox Solution the last semester of grad school, and the timing could not have been better. After two years of boozing, including a semester abroad, I was due for a detox, and really, for a lifestyle change. I know she has her critics, and I certainly don't follow all of her tenants. But starting the day with hot lemon water followed by her Glowing Green Smoothie makes me feel so great. I can't recommend it highly enough.
The smoothies can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for two days, which is perfect for making on the weekend and enjoying at home then taking the last on the drive to the airport Monday morning. They can also be frozen, carried through airport security, stored in the fridge upon arrival, and enjoyed during the week.
Kimberly Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie
1 1/2 c. filtered water
3/4 lb. organic romaine lettuce
1 large bunch spinach or kale
3-4 celery stalks, halved
1 organic apple, seeded, cored, and quartered
1 organic peach or pear, seeded, cored, and quartered
1 organic banana, peeled
1 organic lemon
Place water and greens in blender and mix on high until fully blended and greens are very fine. Add apple, pear, and celery and blend until smooth. Next, add banana and blend until smooth. Finally, add lemon juice and blend until desired consistency.
Serve in a Tervis tumbler or mason jar with a smoothie straw if at all possible.
