RECIPE
New Year's Revival Smoothie
A small daily reset that actually sticks.
Every January, there’s a familiar impulse to “start fresh.”
Usually that means big promises, complicated routines, or cutting everything out at once.
I’ve found the opposite works better.
Instead of trying to overhaul everything, I focus on one small upgrade
I can repeat every day without thinking about it. This smoothie came out of that mindset.
It’s simple. It’s fast. And it’s built around one ingredient that consistently punches above its weight: broccoli sprouts.

Why This Recipe Works
This smoothie is intentionally light but functional.
Broccoli sprouts provide sulforaphane precursors that support detox and cellular resilience
Coconut water helps with hydration and electrolyte balance without heaviness
Mango and banana supply clean carbohydrates that make the smoothie easy to drink consistently
Ginger supports digestion and keeps the flavor sharp, not grassy
It’s not meant to replace meals or act as a cleanse. It’s meant to be a daily baseline — something you can do even on busy mornings without friction.
The Sprout Spotlight
Broccoli sprouts are one of the most concentrated food sources of sulforaphane precursors — compounds that support the body’s natural detox pathways and help manage inflammation. You don’t need a lot to benefit. In fact, about half a cup is enough to make a meaningful difference.
That’s why this smoothie isn’t loaded with ten ingredients or masked with heavy flavors. It’s designed to let the sprouts do their job, supported by hydration, clean carbs, and digestion-friendly ingredients.
Ingredients
½ cup fresh broccoli sprouts
1 cup frozen mango
½ frozen banana
1½ cups coconut water
½ inch fresh ginger
Blend everything until completely smooth and drink it right away.
That’s it.
No added sweeteners. No dairy. No fillers. The mango and banana keep it bright and approachable, the coconut water supports hydration, and the ginger adds just enough warmth to balance the greens.
How to Make The New Year's Revival Smoothie: The Simple Steps
Add the frozen mango and frozen banana to your blender.
Add the fresh broccoli sprouts.
Pour in the coconut water.
Add the fresh ginger.
Blend until completely smooth and silky.
Drink immediately.
Optional Upgrades (If You Want More)
On days when I want a little more staying power, I’ll add one of these:
Collagen peptides for joints and connective tissue
Protein powder (whey or plant-based) for extra satiety
Chia or flax seeds for fiber and omega-3s
These are optional. The base smoothie stands on its own.
Macros
The Bigger Idea
This smoothie isn’t about chasing trends or extremes. It’s about building a habit that feels sustainable — something you can repeat most days without negotiating with yourself.
That’s the philosophy behind Sprout Spout as a whole.
Make the healthy choice easier. Reduce friction. Let small inputs compound.
If you’re looking for a simple way to reset your routine this year, this is a good place to start.
