I thought this was awesome and wanted to share it on my blog this way I can have it forever and I can also share it with you guys, enjoy :D


To kick start your metabolism and get brighter eyes, clearer skin, more lustrous hair, as well as a slimmer waistline, begin your day with celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie Recipe for breakfast. "My clients see a difference in their skin in a few days," says Kimberly, who works with Drew Barrymore, Olivia Wilde, Owen Wilson, Josh Duhamel, Channing Tatum, and Vince Vaughn. "Because you're blending these greens into a liquid, it's easier to digest and the nutrients are immediately available to energize your body," she explains. While we were chatting with Kimberly, Haylie Duff texted to say that her undereye circles went away after a few days on Kimberly's beauty detox! Amazing.

HOW TO Glowing Green Smoothie by Kimberly Snyder, Clinical Nutritionist

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups water

1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 of large bunch of organic spinach (or 3/4 of small bunch)

3-4 stalks organic celery

1 oraganic apple, cored and chopped

1 organic pear, cored and chopped

1 organic banana

Juice of 1/2 organic lemon

Optional: 1/3 bunch organic cilantro (stems okay), 1/3 bunch organic parsley (stems okay)

Directions:

1. Add the water and chopped head of romaine and spinach to the blender.
2. Starting the blender on a low speed, mix until smooth.
3. Gradually moving to higher speeds, add the celery, apple, and pear.
4. Add the cilantro and parsley if you choose. Fresh herbs, like cilantro and parsley, have cleansing properties that help extract heavy metals and other toxins from the body.
5. Add the banana and lemon juice last.
6. This recipe produces about 60 ounces. Kimberly recommends that a woman drink about 16-25 ounces every morning. You can store the rest of the liquid for a day or portion it out and freeze.

Beautylish Tip: If you don't have access to organic produce, regular fruits and vegetables are okay too, says Kimberly, who recommends soaking them with diluted apple cider vinegar to remove the pesticides.
