Start the day with one of these babies. A "Green Smoothie"



All ingredients have great health benefits to kick start your day.

Celery: helps prevent your body retaining water and  reduces blood pressure
Apples: contain fibre to keep you regular, fuller for longer and assists in lowering cholesterol
Avocado: 1.4 daily folate intake, fibre to make you feel full and stabalizes blood sugar
Spinach: full of antioxidants to fight free radicals, anti inflammatory properties to aid in asthma or arthritis.



 Ingredients
1/2 Avocado
1 green apple chopped skin on
1 handful  of spinach
1 medium stalk of celery
1/2 cup iced water


Method 

  1. Blend all ingredients together adding a bit of a time to enough water to blend
  2. Continue blending until it reaches a thick smoothie consistency. Use as much water as needed to achieve this.
  3. Serve in a tall glass. 

 It is important to use green apples over red especially if you cannot afford organic. Often red apples have have had human interference to make them red. See article Organic vs Non Organic is it worth the money?


  
If you don't have time to make one of these smoothies try getting some spirulina capules or powder drink into you for similar benefits, but the real thing is always going to be better!
