My morning wake up call!

Just thought I'd share with you all my new daily routine...
At least once a day, I drink the goodness of a green smoothie!

Not only are they extremely healthy for you but they are very refreshing and taste delicious!

A good friend of mine forwarded me some great green smoothie recipes taken from the website www.thewellnesswarrior.com.au, Jess Ainscough is a truly inspirational woman and her site is well worth a look.

So if you're interested in giving a green smoothie a go, this is my favourite at the moment:

Note: 
I use my Thermomix to whip up this little concoction, however, I'm sure a blender would do the job just as well!

Dee's Green Morning Buddy

6-8 ice cubes
2 whole stalks of Kale or 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
1 large stick celery
1/2 lemon (skin removed)
1 pear (skin on)
1 cold glass water

Put all ingredients into the Thermomix and blend for 2 minutes on Speed 10. 

Voila! Enjoy!  

You could also substitute plain water for coconut water, and add your nutrient powder like Spirulina or I add 1 tsp of 'Vital Greens' 

Yum!

My juice this morning had a different coloured tinge, it's usually greener than this.

I used purple-coloured Kale that's probably affected the end result!
