Holiday snaps and a green smoothie recipe

November 3, 2013 2 Comments

This past week, I was lucky enough to be invited along on a family holiday with B’s family to celebrate his mothers 60th.

We had a lovely week full of sunshine, swimming, beach walks, massages, yoga (I managed to drag myself along to one class), fresh seafood, snorkelling, a slightly disastrous yet hilarious banana boat ride and lots of cocktails!

It was a lovely week, but after a week of over-indulging I was in desperate need of some vegetables when I got home.

Green smoothies seem to have taken over the internet these days. They’re a great way to squeeze some extra fruit and veg into your day, and I love how energised I feel after having one – give me a green smoothie over a can of Red Bull any day!

This is one of my favorite combinations – its light and refreshing and not too heavy. I normally make this up to sip on throughout the day at work as a snack – its not filling enough for me at breakfast – but I promise to post my favorite breakfast smoothie recipe soon.

Note if your new to green smoothies, I would omit the kale and chlorella here and just start with baby spinach. I’d also recommend adding in a date or extra banana for some added sweetness.

Handful of greens (I use kale and baby spinach)

1 small handful chopped fresh herbs (I use mint and parsley)

1 apple, chopped and cored

1/2 banana, chopped

Zest and juice of one lemon

2 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp chlorella

1 cup coconut water

3-4 ice cubes

Mix all ingredients together in a blender. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Serves 1
