it’s easy being green

I recently wrote about my new breakfast routine of a green smoothie (and my fancypants new Vitamix). 

I am seriously obsessed with the green smoothie revolution; My skin looks great, my insides function like a well oiled machine and it’s a fast way to have brekkie! So I thought I’d share a few combinations if you get the urge to go green.

The simple rules are

  • use a Vitamix (if possible, I know they’re expensive) because it turns everything to the smoothest liquid which is the reason it goes down easy
  • the foundation is anything green & leafy. preferably kale but you can use cavolo nero, spinach, silverbeet or lettuce
  • used unwaxed fruit
  • cut off any citrus peel
I need to buy some flaxseed or chia seed to add into the mix!
