Thanks for sharing this recipe for a pineapple detox smoothie! My sister has been raving about them and I’ve been looking for a single serving size recipe. Did you use fresh pineapple? http://www.italianbellavita.com/2012/01/pineapple-spinach-ginger-green-detox/
Yes I used fresh pineapples for this recipe.
How often do you drink one?
It varies but one a day during the timeframe you are detoxing.
Can I use something else besides coconut water. I’m allergic to coconut
Hi Michelle, yes you can, you can use regular water.
