These are two of my all-time favourite recipes for Spring so I wanted to share them with you! Filled with all the antioxidant goodness that your liver will love, the Green Smoothie and the Cleansing bowl will help to give you that Spring Clean on the inside. Check out these easy recipes below.
Green smoothies are full of vitamins and minerals, very alkalising and detoxifying. I like to keep things simple so I follow this formula-:
2 cups Greens
Choose from Spinach, Kale, Romaine, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, Collards, Dandelion.
2 cups Liquid
Choose from Coconut Water or Milk, Water or Almond Milk.
3 cups Fruit
Banana, Mango, Berries, Orange, Avocado, Peach, Pear, Apple, Pineapple, Grapes.
1 teaspoon Tea
Choose from Detox, Glow, Digest, Immunity, Tummy Tone, Fortify or Spice Dream.
Optional: 1 teaspoon of Superfood Green powder.
Blend leafy greens and liquid together first. Then add fruits, tea and superfood powder and blend all together.
This is such an easy dish to get together and jam-packed full of nutrients making the perfect cleansing meal for Spring. Containing wholegrains, vegetables, greens and avocado- it has a good balance of protein, carbohydrate and quality fats. Topped with sauerkraut, a fermented food to encourage the growth of good bacteria in the gut- this is sure to make the tummy happy.
Brown rice (cooked in Ginger Zing for flavour)
Beetroot, roasted
Almonds, dry roasted (with a sprinkle of Spice Dream) and chopped
