My Green Smoothie

The sun is shining today and I found myself having a great desire to get out and hit the trails around DB. So with a lunch appointment cancelled I decided to do just that…… and what a wonderful idea it was. I feel refreshed, energized and can’t stop smiling. The sun and nature are truly amazing…… and so might I add is the smoothie I am having after the hike. So nice in fact that I am inspired to share my take on the ‘green smoothie’. Here’s what you need.

The juice and flesh of 1 young coconut
1/2 a frozen banana
a handful of berries
1-2 handfuls of spinach, kale or other leafy green (today I used some young choi sum)
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground flaxseed
1 -2 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp Berry Radical
1 tsp InLiven
2 scoops whey protein (we use Dr Mercola Miracle Whey Protein)
1 tbl raw cacao nibs
