When I was pregnant with our twins I remember feeling like I lived on green drinks, and the ingredients were out-the-wazoo crazy. I remember molasses and radish and cinnamon... Pregnancy does crazy things to a woman, I say.
Typically we have the same green drink each morning of the week since we have our groceries delivered on a weekly basis, and each week I'll change what we order to add in new flavours.
I try to add three or more green things to each drink. This one has four! And I don't know if anyone actually measures their smoothie ingredients, but I've estimated things below in case you want to follow along. We all love the creaminess of this one.
Ingredients:
2 cups organic curly kale
2 cups organic baby spinach
1.5 cups coconut water
(Toss in blender and blend until smooth)
Add:
1/2 cucumber, diced
1 whole avocado
1 cup frozen berries
1 bananas
1 very ripe mango
&
about 1 cup organic plain yoghurt
Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
Love these. Cucumber - oh so refreshing! What a great idea to use the same ingredients each morning through the week. Some Saturday nights I try to put all the ingredients in the blender before I go to bed, and store in the fridge til morning. Then, all I have to do is add the frozen stuff and blend away! :) Easy peasy, and perfect for those crazy busy mornings.
ReplyDeleteSo, I started taking green juice about 2 years ago after I heard my cousin talking about taking a Green drink product and "alkalizing" your body.
