Recipe

Some of my smoothie ingredients 

Smoothies 




So everyone is on the smoothie bandwagon and who can blame them they are amazing!! Thanks to such lovely girls Jan and Jadah from +Simple Green Smoothies  who have smoothie challenges that last a full month and share many amazing recipes  to aura from +Laura Agar Wilson  from Keeping healthy getting stylish, whom i recently completed a 14 day smoothie challenge with  if a month is a little hard for you) and Jordan from +The Blonde Vegan who does amazing recipes too. There are many more blogs and instagram pages i get my inspiration from but these are just a few. 

When i have a smoothie it is often for breakfast, its a great way to get started on your fruit and veg for the day when i drink it on the way to work. Other times, if the craving (yes i do crave my greens!) i have one for lunch, today however i needed two!! So not sorry for that one!! Especially as it means i get to share with you not one but two green smoothie recipes!! 

Smoothie Bowl:

2 large handfuls of spinach
1/2 courgette (zucchini) 
1 medium banana (frozen) 
1/2 to cup of almond milk (or half water half milk) 
1 tablespoon babao powder
1 tablespoon maca power
Supergreens power

Toppings! 
Whatever you like! 
I used, chia seeds, pumpkin, sunflower, linseeds, and toasted coconut flakes. 

Method: 
After lots of trial and error and a tip from Jan and Jadah blend your greens and liquid first then add frozen banana and everything else. I always used to add frozen banana first with milk to get it thick but found the greens were often not smooth enough. Pour smoothie into bowl and add toppings.

Drinkable smoothie (smoothie on the go!) 

Handful of kale 
Handful of spinach
2 stalks of celery 
medium frozen banana 
1/4 large avocado 
Organic burst chlorella
Wheatgrass 
Spirulina 
- teaspoon of each 


Same method as above just pour into mason jar or glass and enjoy!!
