After an amazing Thanksgiving feast, your body, skin, and hair may be ready for a healthy post holiday reset. A post holiday detox smoothie can support digestion, hydration, and overall wellness, not to mention they’re simply delicious.

These are healthy smoothie recipes you can enjoy any time of year. They support digestion, glow, and energy, making them perfect as the best morning smoothie or a soothing smoothie for bloating after indulgent meals.

We chose these smoothies as part of a simple post thanksgiving detox, using whole-food ingredients that nourish from within, helping your hair stay strong and healthy throughout the winter season.

These supercharged blends will leave you refreshed, hydrated, and ready for the next feast.

Ginger-Pineapple Smoothie

Ginger and pineapple work together to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and create a gentle hydration smoothie effect. Pineapple is naturally high in vitamin C, which fuels collagen production, allowing you to turn your drink into a powerful collagen smoothie. Collagen is essential for healthy hair structure and works beautifully when combined with nutrient-rich greens. Kale and chia seeds add valuable fiber that supports detoxification, making this blend a great smoothie for hair and skin.

Ingredients:
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 cup fresh kale leaves (or 1 scoop Gentle Fiber from NAOMI)
½ cup coconut water (or regular water)
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)

Beet-Apple Antioxidant Smoothie

For a deeper nutrient boost, the beet-apple antioxidant smoothie offers vitamin C, folate, iron, and antioxidants. These nutrients help support scalp circulation and vibrant hair, while also acting as a biotin smoothie when paired with collagen peptides. Adding protein makes it an excellent protein smoothie for women, especially those focused on hair strength, metabolism, and recovery. It also works as a gentle metabolism boosting smoothie. This nutrient-rich blend supports hair health, scalp circulation, and recovery after the holidays.

Ingredients:
1 medium raw beet, peeled and chopped
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1-inch fresh ginger
½ lemon, juiced
2 dates
1 scoop Collagen Beauty Peptides (optional)
1 cup unsweetened soy or pea protein milk (or water)

Cranberry Refresher Smoothie

Looking for a skin glow smoothie? The cranberry refresher delivers a bright, tart mix of vitamins C and E, which protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and help support a nourished scalp environment. Spinach and flaxseeds add minerals, omega-3s, and gut-loving fiber, turning it into a great gut health smoothie, and an amazing smoothie for hair and skin.

Ingredients:
½–1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
½ banana
½ cup spinach
½ cup unsweetened coconut water (or milk of choice)
1 tsp flaxseeds (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)
