Super Green Smoothie

I am hooked on this super green smoothie! It is bursting with vitamins and natural energy – the perfect breakfast replacement or vitalizing snack! I discovered the recipe in Kimberly Snyder’s book ‘Beauty Detox Diet’ (http://kimberlysnyder.net).  If Channing Tatum swears by Kimberly’s smoothie then it is definitely good enough for me!

The smoothie is also great for your skin giving you that much desired ‘glowing’ complexion. I saw a noticeable difference after just two weeks so if you fancy a summer smoothie that will not only provide you with plenty of natural energy but will also improve your complexion then make sure you give this a go!

Ingredients:

· 1 banana

· 1 apple

· 1 pear

· 1 ½ cups of cold water

· 75g spinach (generous handful!)

· 3 stalks celery

· 1 romaine lettuce chopped (optional as not all supermarkets stock romaine lettuce)

· Juice from 1 lemon

· Ice cubes to serve (optional)

Instructions:

To make the smoothie peel /chop/ core the banana, apple, pear, celery and romaine lettuce. Then add all of the ingredients to your blender. Starting on a low speed, mix until smooth. The smoothie is then ready to drink! Easy peasy!

Make sure you store it in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
