I wish I could take full credit for this recipe. Alas, I cannot. I found it on a wonderful blog called, oh she glows. I added flaxseeds to the original recipe and tinkered a bit with quantities, but otherwise, I stayed pretty true to the original. I will say, it is a pretty darn near perfect smoothie. You can also swap the apple for a pear, if you prefer. I have tried both, and it turns out delicious either way. Your body will thank you for this one.
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1 cup baby kale
- 1 gala apple, cubed
- 1/2 large english cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. ground flaxseeds
- 5 ice cubes
Directions:
-Place the kale, apples, cucumber, lemon juice, ginger, coconut oil, and flaxseeds in a high powered blender or Vitamix.
-Next add the ice and maple syrup and blend until smooth.
-Serve immediately and gulp down the liquid goodness!
Been looking for a good green smoothie mix for the cleanse I'm doing right now. Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteHooray! You'll love it! Try is with a pear instead of an apple too. Equally yummy ; )
DeleteHi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteHealthline just published a visualization of your daily value of sodium. In the chart, you can see what half of your DV of salt looks like for 30 foods: http://www.healthline.com/health/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/daily-value-sodium
This is very valuable content as it puts nutrition information into perspective and helps a person understand how much sodium is actually in their food. I thought this would be of interest to your audience and wanted to see if you would include this as a resource on your page: http://weekdaygourmet.blogspot.com/2012/02/recipe-recreation-crispy-low-sodium.html
If you do not believe this would be a good fit for a resource on your site, even sharing this on your social communities would be a great alternativeto help get the word out.
Thanks for your time reviewing. Please let me know your thoughts and if there are any questions I can answer.
All the best,
