Green Smoothies

Some people curse about the addiction of Pinterestfor me I LOVE it. I have found home decor ideas, photography inspiration, and recipes. Oh the recipes! I started a Getting Healthy board and although I’ve been pinning to it for a bit I hadn’t really put anything into practice until yesterday. I made my first smoothie-

Although it came out grey it was still really yummy. Then today I tried the one I really wanted to try – a detox smoothie that helps with tummy bloat. Although it is not pretty to drink it is yummy.

I had found the recipe from this pin The Flat Tummy- Rich in digestion supporting ingredients, this smoothie will help prevent bloating and digestive stress that can sabotage your tummy flattening efforts. The recipe in this one didi not call for spinach however and I knew that I really wanted the benefits of it so I modified it to suit my own needs.

This is what I did –

  • 3/4 c. papaya
  • 3/4c. sliced peaches
  • 1/2 pear, sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 2 mint leaves
  • Water to thin
  • one REALLY large handful of spinach
I added it all to my blender and crank it up to high and let it run while I made my coffee. When I came back I poured it, with not one chunk to be seen, drank it while I waited for my coffee to brew (don’t sit it as it’s meant to be drank) follwed by a glass of water and then my coffee was ready. I say that’s a new morning routine for me. 🙂

 

If you are going to make this please remember that you will need to drink a fair amount of water to offset the high fibre content.

 

Please leave me a comment and let me know if you have a good smoothie recipe as I’m on the look out.

Cheers,
CL

LifeInPleasantville - Word to the water. I missed that step for a couple of days. Not good.
