I truly believe in clean living and making sure you are fueling your body with goodness. Smoothies are a great way to inject vitamins and minerals into the body in order to increase wellness, energy and weight loss.
Blending all the ingredients into a smoothie also makes it less work for your digestive system as the fibre is broken down which makes is easier for your system to digest.
I found this amazing recipe through Sally Obermeder & Maha Koraiem's 'Super Green Smoothies' book (www.swiish.com.au). They call it 'The Fat Flush' smoothie which is good for detoxifying, antioxidant rich, immunity booster, digestion, energy booster and it also has the added bonus of being under 300 calories (1256 KJ) per serve.
Here is what you will need:
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 avocado, peeled and stone removed
- 1/2 Lebanese cucumber
- 1 cup chopped honey dew melon
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- sprinkle of cinnamon for serving (optional)
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Handy Tip - I have pre cut portions of avacado, honey dew and banana and placed them into zip lock bags into the freezer to make it even quicker to make this smoothie during the week. The more frozen ingredients you use, the thicker your smoothie will be.
This recipe not only tastes amazing but also allows you to be creative and add whatever else you want to it. Want more fibre to feel fuller for longer? Why not add your favourite protein powder of some LSA or Chia Seeds? Experimenting is half the fun!
Enjoy!
