LEAN MEAN GREEN



This is a great post-gym smoothie or colourful elixir to kick-start the day! The sugar carbs from the bananas give the muscles instant replenishment, while the broccoli and greens are nutrient-dense with protein to feed the muscles.  Meanwhile, the berries and grape juice are full of antioxidants for cell repair.

Ingredients:
3x small bananas
1x beetroot
3x florets broccoli
handful of blueberries
spinach
rocket
2x tsp of SuperGreen powder
100ml red grape juice
100ml water.

Method: Add the broccoli, bananas, then the liquids. Then add the blueberries, beetroot, powder, spinach and rocket. Pulse or high setting on blender until smooth. If using a juicer, apple or carrot can be used instead of grape juice. 

Enjoy!

  3. Alright then. Looks like blogspot does not work well with the iPad.

    That recipe sounds delicious. What's rocket?
    I like to follow a formula rather than recipe. My formula is this: 40% greens, 60% fruits and berries.

    My last smoothie consisted of: red-swiss chard, almond milk, carrots,yellow squash, a banana, an apple, strawberries, pineapple, mango, oats, and a scoop of whey powder.

  4. Oh Wow Craig! That sounds a beast of a mix! I think I have a similar approach with less veggies. I'm trying to cut out the protein everyday so use on gym days instead. I use vegan blend of pea,rice and hemp....

  5. Hi Craig, If you are having trouble viewing the Blog in iPad then try viewing as Standard Web Version. As the website is not a mobile app some of the functionality doesn't translate. Although it works fine on my iPhone. Couz Sam.
