2 Smoothie Recipes you’ll love
clean green or chocolate bliss?
Smoothies can be hit and miss, I love them when the weather is warm or when I’m really craving a little nutrient boost, however they need to be nice and creamy and blended well!
Here are two of my go-to’s.
I find I’m partial to a green smoothie or green juice after a wine the night before, it’s all about balance after all!
GREEN SMOOTHIE
Ingredients.
1/2 frozen banana
Sml handful of frozen papaya (if you have)
1/4 frozen avocado
big handful of baby spinach
1 stalk celery chopped
small handful coriander, mint + parsley
1.5 cups coconut water
2 T Hemp Seeds (for a serve of protein without the fuss)
Add to blender/Nutri bullet or food processor + blend on high until well combined. Add a little water if too thick.
Optional: add protein powder, probiotics, green powders or adaptogens of choice.
On colder days I like to add a little fresh ginger to my green smoothie or a pinch of cayenne pepper to my cacao smoothie to help warm me up and digest it better.
In both Chinese medicine and the ayurvedic philosophy, cold food and drinks are not recommended in the colder weather, however some days I just feel like a little smoothie hit!
As always, check in and see what works for you.
CACAO SMOOTHIE

½ frozen banana
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp cacao nibs
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp hemp hearts

BECAUSE CHOCOLATE ALWAYS MAKES THE DAY BETTER.⠀
