Green spinach smoothie


Easy, as usual :) Just drop a few ingredients in a blender, and you have got a delicious smoothie. I make from usually 2 liters of smoothie and drink it during 2 days or so :) 

What will you need:
- 4 handfuls of spinach
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 1 banana
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- filtered water (appr. 1liter)


  1. Add the spinach and water to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and keep blending until you get a really smooth texture.
  3. Pour the smoothie into a cool glass and enjoy :)

Very green smoothie



I call this smoothie a very green one, because this time I didn't add any other color to the smoothie, only green veggies and avocado ;) Ok, plus the pea protein powder :P The smoothie mug is as well green :) I got the mug from a friend of mine, and I am in love with it, I take it everywhere with me:):) It is from a Swedish company called Sagaform.  The smoothie holder is BPA free and it seals perfectly. No drops in the bag :):) 


Ok, so here is the recipe:

- handful of spinach
- 1/2 medium cucumber
- 1/2 avocado
- a bit of parsley (according to taste)
- 1 tbsp pea protein powder
- filtered water

Put the spinach, cucumber, parsley and water to the high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Add the avocado and the protein powder. Blend again.

Enjoy :)

After party green juice

 
Here is the scenario: you have been partying all night and had a bit too much to drink ...familiar?  Now there is next day in the morning and your head is hurting... familiar again? :))) This is the perfect time to make a super energizing green juice, like this one. This super delicious vitamin bomb will keep you awake and you will not need to grab a cup coffee. It will as well help you with hangover, because its very alkalizing and it is full of vitamins!
Of course, you can drink this juice any other day, even if you were at home all night :D 

What will you need: 
- 5 kale leaves, stems removed
- 1/2 medium cucumber
- appr. 2cm ginger
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 1 medium sweet apple
- 1/2 lemon

Juice all ingredients in a juicer. Serve in a stylish glass and sip it slowly. Enjoy every ingredient and feel how the juice helps your body to awaken.  Drink your juice 15-20 minutes before breakfast on empty stomach, so all nutrients can be absorbed.

Enjoy :)
