Evening peeps, I have embarked upon this fun challenge along with many other bloggers inspired by www.keepinghealthygettingstylish.com. I have really been enjoying my green smoothies a lot more since my detox and am looking forward to trying different ones. I am just making it up as I go along but will definitely be trying some of Laura's recipes once I get to the shops! So here are my first 2 days...
Monday: Kale, half banana, half pink grapefruit, hemp seeds and cashews, ice, flaxoil, phospholec lecithin granules, milk thistle and a spoon of Green Magic powder.
This was tangy, delicious and kept me going through my hour and half yoga sesh and I took the rest with me in my thermal cup and finished the rest off after, kept me happy till a late lunch. I often make a large amount and have half for brekkie and take the rest with me to work in flask or thermal cup to have around 4ish when I need something to keep me going until dinner.
As you can see this one didn't turn out green, mine often don't! But it had a lot of green in it :-) Green smoothies are such a fantastic start to the day packing in a variety of healthy vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre. They are a wonderful way to get your "superfoods", extra supplements or herbs, EFA's and a bit of added protein if needed. They are a brilliant way to get some healthy greens into your kids or anyone who isn't generally a fan!
I will continue throughout the week and update you next week. I would love to hear from any of you who are enjoying their green smoothies at the moment and any fave recipes....
Till next time...Enjoy the sunshine :-)


I liked avocado, soaked mixture off almonds, pumpkin, flax & sunflower seeds, frozen mixed berries, apple, spinach, & super green powder. Due to mix of seeds & almonds, you need lots of extra water, or it is too thick. Let me know what you think......
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious and full of healthy oils too!
DeleteYum, they sound lovely. I'm yet to be brave enough to try broccoli in one!
