DR. OZ SWEET GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Everyone from kids to adults will enjoy this Dr. Oz Sweet Green Smoothie recipe from his clean detox plan breakfast shakes.

This low calorie smoothie is a simple mix of mango, greens and water.

We love the addition of plant-based protein powder, making this a high protein breakfast smoothie for on-the-go or the perfect post-workout smoothie.

We recommend the optional chia seeds, they are a flavorless superfood and add tons of nutrition, or you can try ground flax seeds. 

Mangos are one of our all-time favorite fruits and when mango and spinach are combined in a smoothie, the body’s ability to absorb their antioxidants, particularly lutein and xanthein, TRIPLES! 

Quickly blend this green smoothie recipe in a high powered blender or if you have a “regular” blender, follow these blending tips.
