Here are a few of my favourite green smoothie recipes. The first is a light option, the second one is more filling and the third is a perfect pre-training option as the addition of caffeine, from matcha, will give you a pre-training boost without the post-training “jitters”.
Spinach, Lime & Ginger – Serves 1
| 1 ripe pear, chopped
Large handful parsley Large handful spinach ½ small cucumber, peeled ½ tsp. wheatgrass 1tsp. spirulina or chlorella |
Juice from 1 lime
1 stick of celery, sliced 1 Kiwi fruit, peeled Thumb-size piece root ginger (peeled & sliced) tiny pinch of sea-salt 100ml coconut water |
Blend everything in a high speed blender for around 60 seconds or until you have a perfectly smooth glossy-green liquid. Add ice to the blender if you want your smoothie super-cold!
