Green Smoothie

I love this green smoothie recipe, it’s pretty much a liquid salad. During winter, the idea of eating a salad just isn’t as appealing as a warming, hearty meal. That said, I still want my body to have a good intake of leafy green vegetables and green smoothies are wonderful for this. They are so easy to make and within five minutes I can make and drink a whole lot of goodness without having to force myself to eat a salad when the temperature is hitting zero outside!

The combination of cucumber, avocado and ginger makes it wonderfully refreshing but also filling.

It does look a little like green sludge but it’s yummy and packed full of nutrients that leaves my body feeling energised and rejuvenated.

Give it a try!
