Banana & Mango Green Smoothie

Sunday, 5 April 2015

It's been a while since I posted a green smoothie recipe, which is crazy because I have them near enough every day!  This new favourite of mine is just so tasty I had to share.

It's true that Green Smoothies can take some getting used to, but once you do, they're so addictive.  They're so full of goodness and you can quite literally feel the benefits straight away.  As they're already liquidated, they're also a fantastic way of giving your stomach a rest without skipping meals, which is perfect if you're feeling like you've over-indulged a little!



In this smoothie there's iron, fibre, potassium, as well as vitamins C and K...which briefly mean improved energy levels, brain function, skin, vision, digestion and immune system; the list goes on!

All these things combine to make an incredibly nourishing and energy boosting drink, and also serve as a great antidote to that mid-afternoon slump.

Recipe:

1 cup of spinach
1 cup of kale
1 cup of frozen mango
1 cup of Alpro Coconut Drink (or water)
1 chopped banana

I also add:

1tbs chia seeds for an extra dose of fibre, omega-3 and protein.

Method:

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth, then serve and enjoy!



Have a fantastic week ahead x

  1. Love adding chia to my green smoothies - cacao nibs are a great addition too! :) Beautiful photography by the way!
