Green smoothies are amazing! But a good way to kick start your metabolism for the week is by starting your morning with a green smoothie. Frankly, any green smoothie you make is essential to promoting a boost in your metabolism and a healthy gut among others. However, this green smoothie has some extra ingredients that will focus on boosting your metabolism and also promoting weight loss.

If your metabolism is slower due to a thyroid or health condition or lack of exercise, it will be difficult to to lose weight or inches no matter how hard you try. It is also not a good idea to starve yourself, as that will only worsen the situation. This smoothie recipe will help you enhance digestion and trigger your metabolism to work much more effectively. It will also aid in losing belly fat. The pineapple chunks and the apple cider vinegar contain a natural acidity which aids in burning stubborn belly fat. Sometimes, the natural acids produced in your stomach isn’t always enough to break down your food and get rid of unwanted fat. Therefore, the addition of the pineapple and the apple cider definitely helps. The spinach and kale aid in bowel movement, or as I like to call it, natures very own laxative. Ingredients include:

2 cups ripe pineapple chunks🍍
1 frozen banana🍌
A handful of kale🌿
A handful of spinach🍃
Half a bunch of parsley🍃
2 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar🍎
1 tbsp raw honey (optional)🍯
2-4 cups of water (or freshly squeezed orange juice)🍊

Puree all ingredients in a blender and serve. This yields 2 servings.
