Top 5 Tips in Making a Green Smoothie
Follow these and you will not go wrong!- Greens. Start by placing 2 cups of your favourite greens into your blender. Spinach, kale, romaine lettuce etc.
- Fruit. you have lots of options here so my general rule when making my green smoothies is no more than 1 cup of fruit. Apples, bananas, berries, pineapple, persimmon, grapes, a mix of super fruit (pomegranate, cherries, blueberries, acai, raspberries)
- Vegetables. Think of colour of the rainbow when adding other vegetables, red pepper, beets, carrots etc.
- Liquid. 2 cups of water or a combination of water and nut milk, or give coconut water a try.
- Supplements. For energy add maca, for protein add spirulina, a few nuts and seeds such as almonds, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, chia or opt for a scoop of your favourite plant based protein powder. For boosting metabolism add a dash of cayenne pepper or a slice of fresh ginger or cinnamon.
