Green smoothies are 'all the rage' just now. They are quick, easy and cheap to make. They give you pure nutrition (i.e. none of the vitamins and minerals from the veg you use are lost through cooking), plus the fibre remains unlike in juices. They are easy to digest, filling and hydrating.The downside? You can make some horrors if you just experiment with what's in your fridge..! (But don't let that stop you!)
Here's my favourite that I take to work often for my mid morning snack (it's great for supping in the couple of minutes I have between each client session)
I also have a Nutribullet, which I have to say is one of the best things EVER! You just chuck everything in it, pop on the lid with the blades, whizz it for 30 seconds, pop a different lid on and away you go (minimal chopping, cleaning or hassle!)
This smoothie is Apple, Spinach, Kale, Pumpkin Seed and Coconut Water.
(1/2 a large apple, decent handful of each of the greens, tablespoon of the seeds and about 200ml of coconut water)
(Contains Vits A, C, B1, B2, B6, E, K, Folate, Calcium, Copper, Magnesium, Niacin, Potassium, Phosperous, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc plus amino acids and electrolytes which help digestion, absorption of the vits n minerals plus hydration levels).
Yuuuuummmmmmm!!!!
