Green Smoothies

There are so many benefits of adding green smoothies to your daily intake:

• They are quick and easy to make and are jam packed with nutrients
• They are portable and great for on the go especially in an EcoJar!
• You can customise the sweetness to your own taste buds
• They fill you up esecially if you add extra fibre sources such as flax meal, psyllium or chia
• They alkalise your body helping with overall digestion
• They help with regular bowel movements

I am obsessed with this green smoothie at the moment is so tasty, refreshing and satisfying. Have it as an on the go breakfast by adding some raw protein or as a fulfilling snack between meals.
