a refreshing breakfast or afternoon pick me up
I really enjoyed this recipe. I also added ice which I would recommend mostly because I like it better cold, and I added a bit of cucumber (I ran out of spinach). This will be my go to post workout drink - healthy and thirst quenching.
Some frozen chopped banana can also be added along with some ice to increase the sweetness for beginners to green smoothies, and the ice will help breakdown the fibre so the smoothie is less bitty and does not need to be strained.
Awesome to see a green smoothie on the site! This is a fairly hard core green smoothie for a beginner though, and straining partly defeats the purpose of green smoothie which is to retain fibre. Fibre is great for our bowel and for lowering cholesterol, and also really important for lowering the glycemic load of the fruit portion of the smoothie. This is a very fibrous smoothie as the greens, apple and celery are all high fibre, possible give it a strain with the TM basket, however through a nut milk bag will be very messy and will add at least another 5 mins to the whole process. I have posted some of my favourite green smoothie recipes too
