    It’s not because I want the detox I just want the veggies and it to be naturally sweetened. I enjoy the taste and it’a low in calories.

    OP your message says DETOX in cap letters. Suggests importance. That’s what our liver and kidneys do.
    Good source for recipes for smoothies, GOOGLE.

    Smoothies can be tasty. They will, however, never detox your body - nor will anything else you consume. Your kidneys and liver will do all of that work if they're working properly. If they aren't working correctly then you should be under the care of a doctor. Or really likely a team of doctors because there's no way your GP would be the only one managing this.

    While everyone that’s responding about the body’s ability to detox itself is completely correct, the OP is simply looking for a copycat recipe from a chain.

    Try this:

    3/4ths of a medium banana
    One cup raw kale
    3oz pineapple
    One mango
    1tbsp fresh ginger
    One cup raw spinach

    This will make two servings. Freeze half or share. Good luck.

    if that is what OP wants perhaps would be better just to ask for green smoothie recipes , leave out the detox, leave out the island (I'm not sure what island means in this context?) - as I'm sure many people have their favourites of green smoothies and she could get some ideas to try.

    That’s what the smoothie is called at the restaurant. She was just being specific.

    Yes that is exactly what I was trying to do. Tropical Smoothie Cafe has a detox Island green which is naturally sweetened and a regular Island green smoothie that is sweetened with turbinando. I am not trying to detox my body and was just looking for this specific recipe because I really enjoy the taste and do not want the added sugars or artificial sugar. Thank you placeboBL!
