Green Goodness Smoothie
A great green smoothie perfect for breakfast each day. I find that I also have enough to put in a separate cup that I will have either at another time during the day or even save for the following morning. This recipe has plenty of super foods and will keep you full for longer whilst improving your health.
Equipment
- food processor
- chef knife
- Optional - apple slicer
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 carrots
- 1 celery stick
- 1/2 cucumber
- lge handful of spinach, kale and chard
- 1/2 - 1 green apple
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 - 1 avocado
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (best to have the liquid version)
- 1 tbsp protein powder
- 1 1/2 cups coconut water (May prefer 2 cups, depending on how thick you like it to be. Adjust to suit.)
- 1 cup ice
- 1 - 2 tbsp flax seeds or flax meal
- 1 1/2 tsp psyllium
Instructions
- Add all the vegetables, apple, avocado and lemon to the processor.
- Add rest of the ingredients except for the psyllium.
- Process until the ingredients have been mixed well. I usually do about 1 minute; however, each mixer will produce varied results.
- Add psyllium husks last and mix. Psyllium can make the mixture thicker so its best to leave until last.
Notes
If I am organised, I chop extra veggies and then place them in either zip lock bags or glass containers to use in the days ahead. If you do freeze them, you won't need to add ice, so adjust as required.
