Green smoothies have become a staple in the diets of many celebrities, with stars like Blake Lively, Reese Witherspoon, and Emily Blunt often seen sipping on these nutrient-packed beverages. While some nutritionists have their doubts about the health benefits of green smoothies, others, like Dr. Federica Amati, believe that they can be a convenient way to ensure you are getting your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.
One celebrity who has been singing the praises of green smoothies is Maggie Q. Known for her role as the secret agent Nikita, Maggie Q is no stranger to the wellness world. She works out regularly, shares health tips on Instagram, and even founded her own supplement company, ActivatedYou. Maggie has also been open about her struggles with gut health in the past, citing factors like stress, diet, and lifestyle changes as contributing factors.
Earlier this year, Maggie shared her favorite morning probiotic smoothie recipe on Instagram. The recipe includes kale, dandelion greens, grapefruit, cucumber, and probiotics from her own brand. Maggie believes that giving your body the nutrients it needs for proper digestion is key to feeling your best, especially if you have digestive issues.
If you want to try Maggie's famous green smoothie for yourself, here's the recipe:
– Handful of ice cubes
– 1 stalk of kale
– 2-3 dandelion greens
– Handful of coriander
– 1 ruby red grapefruit
– 1 cucumber
– 240ml water
– 1 probiotic capsule (open and pour out powder)
– 1 teaspoon of agave for sweetness
Simply blend all the ingredients together until smooth and enjoy your fibrous morning drink. Just make sure you have a high-speed blender to get the desired consistency. Cheers to good health and delicious green smoothies!
