Green Smoothie Recipe

Hello Everyone!

I got this delicious smoothie recipe from one of my clients (Thanks Linda!) and I had to share it with you. Even as a trainer I struggle to get enough vegetables in a day but this smoothie will be a huge help. Have an open mind and give this a try it tastes great and is sooooooooooooo good for you!

Ingredients:
2 celery stalks (chopped)
1/4 cup fresh mint (optional)
1 Naval Orange (peeled)
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Cups Frozen Mango Cubes
2 Cups water
4 Cups Spinach
4 Tbsp Ground flax seeds
1/2 Tsp Ginger (I use the paste you can get at loblaws)

Directions:
Place ingredients in the order listed in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture in to ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Then you can pop them out and store them in freezer bags.
When you want a smoothie place one cup of water (or coconut water) in a blender with 3-4 of the frozen cubes, 1/2 a banana, a handful of berries (whatever you have on hand), 1 tbsp nut butter, and 2 tbsp of greek yogurt.

 
And there you have it! A delicious and nutritious smoothie full of vitamins and nutritients. Give it a try and see what you think!

Andrea :)
