Tired of the same old spinach or kale smoothies? Then try endive instead! Endive is considered a natural diuretic that can promote intestinal regularity and balance your digestive system. Endive’s naturally bitter taste blends well with the sweet peach and mango, offering a complex, earthy balance to this sweet and restorative smoothie.
♡ 1 cup coconut water
♡ ½ cup frozen mango
♡ ½ cup frozen peaches
♡ 2 cups endive
♡ juice of ¼ lemon
♡ 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
♡ 1 tablespoon chia seeds
♡ ½ to 1 cup ice
Optional Add-Ins :
♡ ½ frozen banana
♡ 1 apple, cored and sliced
♡ ¼ cup chopped avocado
Combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve right away.
For a thicker smoothie with more protein, use Greek yogurt in place of half of the coconut water. You could also include 2 tablespoons hemp seeds to add protein and keep this smoothie plant-based.
