Hello!
As some of you may not know I am studying to soon become a qualified nutritionist. This is very exciting as I am passionate about health, nutrition and natural beauty. I believe that you can eat yourself more beautiful. Eating the right foods gives you the ultimate health and beauty. I don’t believe in dieting or counting calories, only in filling your body with the right nutrients that it needs.
I thought I’d share with you a green smoothie recipe that I drink first thing every morning or at least 5 times a week. This recipe gives about 700 ml of green smoothie which is about the amount I drink for breakfast. Drinking this smoothie regularly will give you a more beautiful glowing skin, great energy and it’s a good way to incorporate some of your 5 a day. Plus it will also reduce your cravings throughout the day so it actually helps in weight loss as well. Just remember to drink it before your food first thing in the morning or as an afternoon snack. Personally this is all I have for breakfast usually until lunch apart from maybe a piece of fruit.
Green Smoothie Recipe
1 Cup filtered water
2 Cups chopped Spinach
1-2 Cups chopped Romaine lettuce
½ Cup chopped celery
1 Apple
1 Banana
Optional lemon juice
You just add everything into a blender and mix. You can mix the greens up so that you might use kale instead of spinach or use cucumber instead of celery etc. It’s important to have a good blender that can blend the ingredients into a smooth juice like consistency. I actually prefer drinking smoothies to juices because you keep all the fiber in the vegetables and fruits, and our body needs that fiber for cleansing our bodies and also it keeps you fuller. Please try to ensure that all ingredients are organic.
Let me know how you like it!
