Ingredients:
2 cups water
2 – 3 pieces of fruit (e.g. 1 banana, 1orange, 1 apple – OR – if you want a more uniform flavour, use the same fruit such as 2 – 3 oranges.)
As many greens and/or sprouts as you can cram in there (e.g. 6 – 8 leaves of romaine or other lettuce, or 2 handfuls of baby spinach, or any other mild green. Whatever you have on hand is fine.)
1 scoop Vega powder (optional – available at health food stores)
Instructions:
Place 1 cup water, fruit, greens and Vega powder if using, and blend until very smooth. Pour into 1-litre bottle/flask. Use remaining cup of water to swish out blender and add to the smoothie. Enjoy!
Try to vary the greens and fruit throughout the week to give yourself as much variety as possible. Use sprouts whenever possible – e.g. Alfalfa, clover, pea shoots, etc.
