Green Smoothies + FREE Recipe for you

A few of you have been asking me more about the Green Smoothies I drink daily.

💚So why have a green smoothie?
Green Smoothies are a great way to get fresh, raw servings of fruits and vegetables with all the healthy fibre, vitamins, minerals and nutrients that your body needs. A good blender or food processor is essential to get a nice smooth, lump free smoothie. Your body can digest the nutrients more efficiently and easily as it’s in more liquid form.
💚So how do I create an awesome balanced Green Smoothie?
• Greens-eg, kale, spinach, chard, watercress, bok choi, pea shoots, herbs like mint, basil and parsley. This makes up roughly half of your cup so mix and match/choose your favourite greens. Don’t always stick to the same ones though.
• Protein-Protein Powder/Hemp Seeds, either a scoop or couple of table spoons of seeds.
• Healthy Fats-Avocados, Nuts, seeds, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, nut oils and nut butters about ½ an avocado or 1 heaped teaspoon.
• Extra Nutrients, antioxiodants, immume boosters, acid/alkaline balancers- Citrus fruits, cinnamon, turmeric, grapeseed oil, spices, fresh ginger, nutmeg, cacao powders. Only need to add a small amount. Like a teaspoon max.
• Sweetness/extra flavours-berries are best but can also add sweeter fruits in smaller amounts like ½ a banana or some tropical fruits.
• Liquid-water, coconut water, hemp milk, coconut/almond/other non dairy milks- top up to liquid line, can add more or less to change consistency.
And then blend until smooth.
