I have been drinking this smoothie for the past week and I already see a difference in my skin, as well as my gut health! Amazing! 😃 Just a side note: even though the packaging might say Pre Washed, Ready to Serve etc. it's always better to wash your greens with water and a little bit of white vinegar, just to be on the safe side. 💕
Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who washes their greens, I dont trust the claims on the packaging at all, especially with the amount of green recalls over the years
I love it, I send your video to everyone I know. I make your recipe and I also make my version, 2 cups of spinach, 3/4 to 1 cup pure coconut water, 1/2 to whole lemon or lime (I prefer the flavor of lime), 1/2 chopped apple and 1/2 frozen banana. Frozen banana is the key for me because I think it makes the shake taste better colder.
Thanks for the smoothie. Me and my husband made this our routine every morning. But I do also add few mint leaves, and sometimes replace banana with kiwi or grapes. Its so good.
I like this recipe but using Geoffrey Alan's method....start with liquid first in the blender and then fill it up to the top loosely with the greens...works like a charm n makes 2 servings.
I just made this for the first time this morning. Its simple and has a little sweetness to it that will make it easier to stick to than those bitter green smoothies
This is so good! I've been making it a few times a week for the last couple of months but I've slowly been adding a few other things to it like celery which I thought you mentioned, maybe in another video. I usually use arugula instead of kale and I now also add a teaspoon of Spirulina and sometimes Chlorella too. I usually add a scoop of Collagen. Sometimes I add Maca root powder and depending on what my plans are for the rest of the day, I occasionally add a clove of garlic!!
I came back to this video a year later to get the recipe. It’s literally the best smoothie and like she said it’s so fresh! When I first tried it I didn’t think I would like it but I did 😋💜
Been making this smoothie ever since you posted it! Love it sooo much! I have refined it a bit, I cut in half the coconut water and fruit and just put in 2 cups greens, very tolerable.
I LOVE this drink and thank you for showing me how easy it is. I lost so much weight and wasn't trying. Its great for picky eaters and a great way to add nutrients!!! Thank you
I just made this smoothie and it does taste amazing! I did lightly steam my kale first though just for five minutes to break down the oxalic acid in it, Ive read that kale contains oxalic acid and this can be really bad for you if you have this every day raw and can upset your thyroid amongst other problems!?
Yes, you are right. I think Dr. Vand should make sure to disclose this risk to her audience and the way to address the oxalate issue. Too much oxalate over time can contribute to kidney stones. There are studies that support this. Not saying eating healthy is bad in fact eating plant based is the way to go! It just requires a bit of research to make sure you are consuming these foods for maximum benefit. nutritionfacts.org/video/kidney-stones-and-spinach-chard-and-beet-greens-dont-eat-too-much/
You came up as a recommendation for me...obviously, I like these type of informational videos. But this one is awesome. I've gotten away from my morning smoothies, and this is a wonderful one to introduce me back to reality. Thank you. Perfect!!!!!
Hi Dr. Mona, I tried the green smoothie, didn't like, then, I tried blending kale and spinach after it was cooked for a few minutes so it wilted and then a couple minutes more, much better, I actually really liked it that way. Just a touch of soy sauce.
I have bought so many items you have recommended and I love them all. The cacao powder, Pow red lentil noodles, and the "ceylon" cinnamon (which taste really different from the regular one you would buy). I have lost 4 pounds and kept the weight off since your videos (it is not much BUT keeping the weight off is the important part of losing lbs). I follow fruit, starch, protein routine and it seems to be working along with balancing the fats etc. Without making this extremely long Dr. Vand I'm so thankful you started your channel. It is truly valuable information. I hate to sound like a fan lol but I genuinely love your channel and look forward to your videos. You are so beautiful and I'm so happy you decided to venture into youtube to help us gals/guys look and be our best. xoxo
I LOVE THIS Mona thank you so much - I’ve started to make this daily as well - and I’m on my 7th day consistently having this! This is the video that made me start watching your channel more regularly.
I love how simple this is! I'm so excited to try this because I'm always on the go in the mornings and being up at 5AM can be difficult so this is great mostly for summer!
Hola Mona, I fall in love with your videos and the healthy smoothies and recommendations 👍🏻 One question here. My breakfast normally is a bowl of fruit “papaya, blueberries, banana and “chai seeds combined with almonds milk and flax oil, this overnight” I add some of this mix on top of my fruit in the morning, so my question is., can I drink this green smoothie after my bowl of fruit or should drink the smoothie first then the fruit? Please help 😊
This is such an amazing smoothie! I made with all romaine lettuce (for something different - always do spinach/kale) and used a pinch of powdered ginger since I didn’t have fresh. Loved it 💕 thank you for sharing
So awesome your using organicgirl product! I work for organicgirl and eat greens every day! So excited to try the smoothie tomorrow morning! Thank you!! Love your channel!
I totally feel you about following the recipe. I measure like an Italian, but I find when I do that with smoothies they are definitely inconsistent in terms of taste.
Thanks for the video! I follow a very similar detox morning routine and have seen the difference it makes for my waistline. So great to see it out there for others to be inspired by, hopefully try,(consistently) feel better, and see the difference 😊👌
Thanks for this video! I love green smoothies and need to get back to doing them. I have a question about the fruit and veggie combo though. Is that good for digestion? I watched one of your previous videos about not combining fruits with other foods. Is this the exception?
Tomorrow I will start this detox smoothie second after my warm water with lemon . Great idea dr Mona can you tell me we’re can I get that beautiful top ???
Hi Mona, This is awesome advice- Thanks :) I have a question about the smoothie, you stated it should be fresh. Do you think its ok if I use frozen? I make frozen smoothie bags on a Sunday and pop them in a blender the night before to have it ready for the next morning.
Hi Dr. Mona. This smoothie is awesome. Thank you👏👍🤗 but someone on your team can answer this question? I have the same problem of her. I start my day at 5.00 am and most of the time i am in a hurry. Can i prepare the smoothie the day before at night?
Charly Abbott i don’t do it every day but I’ve done it a few times. I have something else that i drink as a part of my every morning routine which also helps to detox! However taste wise i love the smoothie !
It would be So helpful if you could list the ingredients or products you mention in your videos on the blurb section. I do a lot of my listening during my drives so i list of items used would be great to screen shot. Thank you for your great content.
Hello Mona, I never blend green juice because I don't know if I'm going to like the taste. I will try and make your blend recipe. Does all greens have to be organic. I think your YT videos are helpful, don't get tired of shooting them for public, thanks.
When you drink this in the morning do you have a “meal” with it as well? Thank you. Loved the simplicity of this video. Maybe for those wanting more “doctor” advice you can write something in the bio to make them happy while still keeping the video not rushed.
This is a perfect recipe Mona! I love it, keep it coming please! 😃🤗☺️💕

i love the smoothie
3C greens

Fresh turmeric or ginger (optional)
Fit n Fab thanks... this lady talks too much
Thank you
@@Helen-fx9tk exactly... I just feel strange that we are kinda forced to watch her video in order to get the recipe....
Thank you!
I enjoy her talking...makes her human !😁
I've been drinking hot water, lemon and then this smoothie for the past year and I feel amazing!! Thanks so much 😇

AntaA i agree with you😍
Did it help with acne?do you take as a breakfast meal?
Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who washes their greens, I dont trust the claims on the packaging at all, especially with the amount of green recalls over the years
No you don't need to do that. And vinegar is used to clean my clients' mirrors and barhroom tiles.
I tried it with coconut milk and it was LITERALLY the best smoothie I've ever tried
I love it, I send your video to everyone I know. I make your recipe and I also make my version, 2 cups of spinach, 3/4 to 1 cup pure coconut water, 1/2 to whole lemon or lime (I prefer the flavor of lime), 1/2 chopped apple and 1/2 frozen banana.

Thanks for the smoothie. Me and my husband made this our routine every morning. But I do also add few mint leaves, and sometimes replace banana with kiwi or grapes. Its so good.
It’s amazing, I’ve been drinking this every morning for a week now ( after warm lemon water) and it really does give you energy!
I like it. Invest in manual lime/lemon juicer. That will prevent the seed from getting into the drink. Glass straws are wonderful.
I love the flavor. I put it in the freezer to get it cold and then re-blend.
I like this recipe but using Geoffrey Alan's method....start with liquid first in the blender and then fill it up to the top loosely with the greens...works like a charm n makes 2 servings.

Makes total sense...are body is “rebooting” while we sleep! Definitely going to try this smoothie, seems simple enough for a beginner like me!
I tried the "basic" version of this and love it. I can't wait to incorporate aloe vera juice, turmeric and ginger. Thank you for this💙
Omg, I just made this for the first time and I can’t believe how good it tastes! And it’s so so healthy for you. Thank you!!!
I came back to this video a year later to get the recipe. It’s literally the best smoothie and like she said it’s so fresh! When I first tried it I didn’t think I would like it but I did 😋💜

Very informative! You Rock, Mona!!
She's awesome, really knowledgeable!
I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Please make a video on a diet plan of a day to treat and prevent acne and acne scars
Everyone can actually do this. Information is everywhere. Consistency is key…that’s what separate great from average.
i prefer EASY recipe than complicated one. I love your videos. You taught me a lot of things about health eating and anti aging ♥️
Just made this and it’s amazing! Personally
I love juices and smoothies super cold so I just added a bit of ice! 🥬🥥🍎🍌

Do you recommend using coconut milk instead of coconut water?
So awesome your using organicgirl product! I work for organicgirl and eat greens every day! So excited to try the smoothie tomorrow morning! Thank you!! Love your channel!
I totally feel you about following the recipe. I measure like an Italian, but I find when I do that with smoothies they are definitely inconsistent in terms of taste.
I just made this and I am surprised how nice this is. I was skeptical but it IS yummy and refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
Drinking this right now.. I love it! Thanks Dr. Mona!
Definitely going to start doing this every morning. Thank you so much! 😊

I love that green color!
I can’t wait to try this green smoothie, more videos like this please 👍👏
Thanks for the video! I follow a very similar detox morning routine and have seen the difference it makes for my waistline. So great to see it out there for others to be inspired by, hopefully try,(consistently) feel better, and see the difference 😊👌
Can someone share links to studies that show the benefit of this approach? I love to read about the science underlying things like this.
This is a great smoothie video thank you Dr. Mona😋I made it and I love it💕
What a beautiful shirt! I'm going to try this smoothie also it looks so good 👍🏽👌🏽😋
LOVE THIS VIDEO ❤❤❤❤
Switched out my coffee for this and never looked back (well, it’s only been two weeks).
Love this recipe I plan to try it out sometime next week. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video! I love green smoothies and need to get back to doing them. I have a question about the fruit and veggie combo though. Is that good for digestion? I watched one of your previous videos about not combining fruits with other foods. Is this the exception?
Tried it this morning, it was really good! Great recipe, thanks!
Loved your video. Gonna start with this green juice from tomorrow 👍🏻
I love your video. Can I add one
scoop of protein powder?
I just made this and omg it tastes soooo delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe!
This looks really similar to Kimberly Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie. Not sure if you were inspired by it, but it’s really similar
Tomorrow I will start this detox smoothie second after my warm water with lemon . Great idea dr Mona can you tell me we’re can I get that beautiful top ???
The vitamex is something I would love to have but can't afford. Is there a cheaper version or can I use a regular blender?
After this video I’ve been having green smoothies every morning. It’s honestly soooo gooddd !!!!!
Would be helpful to list ingredients in the show more to make recipe
Hi Mona, love this shake, Can you do a video on how to clean a blender?
Hi Mona,
This is awesome advice- Thanks :)
I have a question about the smoothie, you stated it should be fresh. Do you think its ok if I use frozen? I make frozen smoothie bags on a Sunday and pop them in a blender the night before to have it ready for the next morning.
Hi Dr. Mona. This smoothie is awesome. Thank you👏👍🤗 but someone on your team can answer this question? I have the same problem of her. I start my day at 5.00 am and most of the time i am in a hurry. Can i prepare the smoothie the day before at night?
I love green smoothies, but I hat the fuss with the limes. I just cut it in half and use a little sliver in there, lol! Thanks for sharing!
dr.v i love your lifestyle
Hi, I tried this smoothie and it was fabulous. Thank you so much.
I loved this cant wait to try it
Is this good for healing hormonal acne? Thank you.
I love how you say spinage for spinach!
Is frozen spinach Better than not doing It? In my country fresh greens are really expensive.
This is simple and awesome! Like how we don't need a bunch of ingredients! I'll definitely give it a try!
Thank you sooo much for sharing such a good and healthy smoothie .
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love my Vitamix.
Just discovered you and i am LOVING YOU ! I am trying this smoothie tomorrow morning ❤️

Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing 💛
Loved this, can’t wait to try it 💃🏻🌿🌿
This is a delicious and pretty smoothie. I do add chia seeds to my cup. Thanks for great recipe. :)
It would be So helpful if you could list the ingredients or products you mention in your videos on the blurb section. I do a lot of my listening during my drives so i list of items used would be great to screen shot.
Thank you for your great content.
U are such inspiration for me.
Hi Dr. Mona. so in love with these videos. Thanks alot. i have a question, is it alright to use powdered turmeric as i cant find the pure ones.
Excellent video! I love making green smoothies!
mona, is it also beneficial to make this smoothie in the afternoon, for anyone who doesn't like it first thing in the morning?
Where your shirt from? 😍
Hello Mona, I never blend green juice because I don't know if I'm going to like the taste. I will try and make your blend recipe. Does all greens have to be organic. I think your YT videos are helpful, don't get tired of shooting them for public, thanks.
I love this! Can’t wait to try it . Thank you for sharing 🤗
