Throughout the duration of my A level exam period, I made this smoothie everyday to keep me energised when dealing with stress and fatigue. I still make it often and especially when I'm feeling ill or in need of a 'boost'.
It really works and is delicious, full of fibre, vitamins, minerals, iron and omega 3.
I usually use whatever is in season and what we have in the house. Right now kale and chard are having their moment, so are appearing in mostly everything that I cook!
Depending on how your feeling you can decide to leave the peel on or off the oranges and lemons, as leaving it all on makes for a rather bitter drink. I usually leave the peel on most of the other fruit if possible as most of the goodness is in the peel.
I also add chia seeds and flax seeds to the mix to enhance the drinks goodness!
Today's ingredients!
Thumb size piece of Ginger
Half a Lemon
1 Orange
5 Kale leaves
5 Chard leaves
1 small Apple
1 Kiwi
2 tbs of Flax seeds
2 tbs of Chia seeds
1 cup of water (more or less depending on what consistency you prefer)
This makes enough for four glasses, although can be left in the fridge if you have some left over.
