How To Make A Cilantro Smoothie
Toss all the ingredients into your favorite blender and blend away! And if you want to make a few adjustments to this recipe, I’ve got a few tips below.
- Make it less sweet: I used a full banana to combat the bitter, peppery flavor of cilantro. But if you want to make this a low-sugar smoothie, you can just use half a banana.
- Make it a creamy smoothie: It’s best to use water in this recipe to help cleanse the body. But you could turn this into a creamy delight by subbing water with non-dairy milk (that doesn’t have added sugars). I highly suggest making your own for the quality, such as my almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk recipe!
It’s always a good idea to include some anti-inflammatory drinks in your routine if you need a little “pick-me-up!”
- Golden Milk: A creamy and spiced turmeric latte that’s healthy, healing, and delicious!
- Turmeric Tea: The perfect addition to your tea routine with turmeric, lemon juice, and honey.
- Ginger Shots: For a quick immune booster, nothing beats these ginger shots.
- Green Juice: A great alternative to a green smoothie.
- Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie: Enjoy tropical flavors with an anti-inflammatory boost!

Cilantro Smoothie Recipe Ingredients
This cilantro smoothie proves you can get the most magic from the simplest ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- Herb: Cilantro is the star ingredient in this smoothie! Cilantro is noted for its antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties, which makes it a natural powerhouse for detoxifying the body. As someone who’s experienced multiple skin issues over the years like psoriasis, eczema, and Grover’s disease, cilantro may offer some benefits.
- Vegetables: Spinach and ginger, along with cilantro, are a powerful blend of ingredients packed with antioxidants and nutrients.
- Fruit: To balance the sharp flavor of the cilantro and lend a sweeter flavor profile, I’m using banana, pineapple, and kiwi. Bonus — kiwi is extremely rich in fiber and immune-boosting nutrients. For me, a kiwi a day keeps the doctor away!
