Essential oils of lemon balm, basil, and mint soothe an irritated stomach and relieve discomfort. The lactic acid bacteria from yogurt and dietary fiber from pistachios have a positive effect on intestinal flora. This in turn pushes the body's defenses. Bananas and Spinach are among the alkaline foods and help to keep the acid-base balance in equilibrium. The high water content of the leafy vegetables as well as minerals such as potassium from the two types of fruit help to gently drain and detoxify the body.

The green herb smoothie can be wonderfully adapted to the season and your own taste: Try apple instead of pear, for example, or swap the pome fruit for fresh berries in the summer. You can replace the spinach with young kale or lamb's lettuce, for example. For a vegan version, use a plant-based alternative instead of cow's milk yogurt.
