Green Smoothies are a recent discovery of mine. They mostly came about due to the fact that the Gawler foundation suggests you drink 2 Green Juices daily (in a juicer combine any green veg inc. celery, cabbage, rainbow chard etc. If you are brave you can add some Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Spirulina or any combo of all three powders.
This stuff is the bane of my existence! It tastes like hell mixed in water or juice but disguising it in a green smoothy is really the only way to stomach it! It's so amazingly good for...well everything. Inc. alkalizing the blood, boosting omega 3, 6 and 9 and is incredibly rich in chlorophyll and carotene's. These smoothies give me all I need on a day that I can't quite stomach the thought of yet another green juice!
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1/2 ripe banana, roughly chopped
1 cheek mango, peeled and roughly cubed
2 tsp. organic raw honey (preferably)
1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
1 cup rice milk (or non dairy milk of choice...although soy milk is the devil)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 - 1 Tbls. Barley Grass powder
1/2 cup crushed ice if you like it thick and refreshing, or just add a few blocks at the end.
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and press START! Add extra ice at the end if desired. If too thick add water or more rice milk.
