Green smoothies - give it a go!

'Go for a green smoothie in the morning' my nutritionist said. It was the third time in a year I heard or read this advice.

I'm very lazy in the morning and I was definitely not looking for a time-consuming breakfast every morning but after hearing people be so enthusiastic about it I decided to give it a go. So two weeks a go I started the morning with a green smoothie. Using organic spinach, cellery and a banana I made my first green smoothie breakfast.

On my first smoothie morning I was a bit grumpy because it took a little longer than my usual breakfast ritual and I was almost late for work BUT I really really liked it. The taste was good and my hunger was instantly satisfied.

 So I decided I had to try out some more green smoothies and kept on going for days. And today I came to the conclusion that I have a new breakfast ritual. And this ritual has a lot of pro's: a high vitamin and fibre intake, no grains, no sugar, filling breakfast, not hungry for the next few hours and ofcourse a delicious taste of choice!

To help you get started on this great breakfast/lunch/afternoon snack, my favourite smoothie:
5 leaves of organic spinach
2 stalks of cellery
1 pear
a few mint leaves
Blend all together with some water and ENJOY :)
I hope you'll like it!
