Smoothie Recipe

Don't be put off by its Green-ness. Its a bit fluorescent 

This smoothie, is amazing, looks amazing, tastes amazing and you can feel your body saying thank you seconds after you've tried it. 

Its a very easy way to get through those gigantic bags of spinach which supermarkets insist on selling you 

I PROMISE YOU CANNOT TATSE THE SPINACH

Blend:

1 medium apple (granny smiths is best! - she's my grandma - fact)

1 large banana (the main taste)

a very large handful of spinach (always wash!)

I also added a tiny amount of sugar free cranberry juice and several ice cubes to chill it out and make it more liquidated! 

THE RESULT:

YUM I HEAR YOU CRY! 

The benefits of spinach

If you don't know - its a super food. Its a super food. 

Its packed with Vitamin K - this is so good for you and a handful of spinach is about 1000% of your daily recommended intake 

• it is amazing to keep your blood healthy
• stops calcium hardening soft tissues and arteries (very important if you're one of those trying to avoid cononary heart disease) 
• protects nerves and cells from damage - great brain food!
• prevents bones from weakening

Bananas

Where do I begin with bananas? - if it was up to me you'd have one after every workout 

They are SO SO important to build up your potassium levels - due to them being VERY high in Potassium they are a recognised food to lower blood pressure and prevent heart attack and stroke. 

• Bananas stop you having cramps
• High in natural sugars to stop cravings 
• Prevent against kidney cancer!
• Help smokers quit by reducing cravings 
• THE LIST IS MASSIVE 

And ofcourse - an apple a day keeps the Dr away - apples are high in Pectin which keeps you fuller for longer. 

I'm officially bouncing around after having this smoothie!

Bounce with me?
