Create your own Summer Smoothie!

After a well celebrated holiday season, we are in need of a Summer Detox!

We have picked the brains of our spa Naturopath, Maria Jude, to create a delicious and nutritious, simple morning ritual!

Green smoothies are a simple combination of 1 cup of fresh leafy greens (eg: spinach, kale, parsley, bok choy...), 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (banana, mango, berries, avocado, apple, grapes, pineapple...) and 1 cup of liquid base (water, coconut water or milk, almond milk, yoghurt..)

Tips & Tricks

• Add some ice if you are wanting to keep your smoothie chilled for longer!

• Try boosting your smoothie with ginger root, cacao, mint, cinnamon, tumeric or coconut oil for extra oomph!

• Blending colourful fruits will make your smoothie more appealing!

• Cut your fruit into small pieces and pop in the freezer the night before, this will make your smoothie chilled and creamy! DELICIOUS!

One of our favourite combinations is;

1 cup of spinach

1/3 cup of Avocado

1/3 cup of Apple

1/3 cup of banana

1 cup of coconut water

1/2 cup of ice

1 cube of ginger root

Simply blend it all together and enjoy!

Have fun experimenting and send us some pics of your smoothie creations!

Happy Blending!
