It’s not like green juices are particularly thin on the ground at the moment, but when it comes to the best start to the morning, we think a smoothie is the only way to go. It may be thicker, but you’re getting every single part of the goodness that you’re putting in with your ingredients.
Here’s the recipe for our Editor Krista’s signature green smoothie.
In Krista’s words ‘These are the ingredients I use, everyone will have their own preferences and tastes, so there’s no set recipe, just go with what works for you, but whatever you do, don’t skip the greens, the kale is the key ingredient to a super healthy kick start to your day. There’s no other way I could eat raw greens in the morning! I know this is quite a mix but once you have all the packets to hand, they last a while and are dry so don’t expire. You get into a routine of adding a sprinkle of each, again just adjust quantities to taste’.
You’ll need…
Almond milk
Iced water/cubes
2 large handfuls of kale
1/2 banana
Blueberries
3 prunes
Goji berries
Pumpkin seeds
Linseeds
Sunflower seeds
Spirulina powder
Maca root powder
Place all the ingredients in your blender, whizz up for a few minutes and enjoy!
