Green drinks!
There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cold drink. But instead of knocking back the beers or soft drinks by the pool, why not try a glass full 'o' goodness with one of these green drinks from some lovely souls who have bared their secret recipes for The Sprout's Super Summer Guest-tacular Spectacular! Kine from Kine Blog's Life Changing Green Smoothie
- 1.5 cups soy milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon spirulina powder
- 1/2 avocado and/or 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Strength Coach Deirdre Hinton's Quick Plant Protein Smoothie
- 1-2 scoops of Plant protein (I used Plant Fusion's Cookies and Creme) depending on your intake needs
- 500ml filtered water
- 1cup fresh English spinach leaves
- 2 tsp chia seeds soaked in 1 tbsp coconut milk
Blend it together in a food processor at high speed. For a thicker consistency use less water or add 1/4 avocado
Todd's Post-Workout Morning Juice
- Thumb of ginger
- 2 stalks of celery
- whole lemon (or orange)
- apple
- beetroot
- carrot
**I like to vary it from day to ay by adding fresh aloe vera or papaya or watermelon. Essentially anything else I've got I'll add to change the flavours a little but the list above is the starting point for sure**
Aaaaand Todd's Jungle Juice
- Big handful of kale
- Some Spinach
- Silverbeet
- celery (I like to use the leaves more than the stalks in this one)
- banana (best if cut up and frozen first so it chills the smoothie more)
- couple of dates to sweeten (can use a little agave but I find dates are best)
- Fresh homemade almond milk, made from organic pre-soaked (activated) almonds.
**It's a thicker smoothie especially depending on how creamy your almond milk is, I try not to make my almond milk too thick, I prefer it on the watery side**
