Smoothie Day 2

This mornings mixture:
2 cups of Baby Spinach
1 Banana
1 cup of Forest Fruit Berries
2 tablespoons of Sunflower Seeds
2 cups of Water

wait for it...



As you can imagine, I had the same reaction as you.. what the hell.
I wasn't too keen on drinking it, but I'd already mixed it together so it was worth a try.
Then, by surprise, the texture threw me. It was lovely!
This smoothie has a smooth texture compared to yesterdays.
Because I had used water instead of milk, it wasn't as 'clumpy'.
How exciting; beauty doesn't always taste good!
If you are worried about the look of it; close you're eyes.

Soon to be Smoothie Maniac Day 1

Basically, I've started some 'clean eating'.
Simply by this I mean blending some healthy things together and drinking them for breakfast.

Firstly I started with this:
Two Bananas
300g of Sliced Mango
1 cup of Baby Spinach
3 TBSP Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds
2 cups of Almond Milk
3/4 Ice Cubes

I blended it all together to create this concoction:

It may look like a mushed up glass of the incredible hulk; but I tell you, it was delicious.
I wasn't hungry for at least 5/6 hours after I'd had this for breakfast. The seeds were very crunchy; which created a texture I wasn't keen on. I then read the benefits of Hemp seeds and wished I'd added more to this smoothie. They are ideally their own little fruit which has an almond/hazelnut taste (went well with the milk), their jam packed with omega 3 and 6! Delightful!
