Recipe type: green smoothie
Serves: 2
Ingredients
1 c water
¼ c raw apple cider vinegar - optional addition for cleansing the system {can also sub for plain kombucha}
2-3 tbsp hemp
1 tbsp matcha - optional addition for energy boost
3-4 kale leaves
Small handful alfalfa sprouts - optional addition for gut health/digestion
½ cucumber
½ avocado
ice
Instructions
blend all ingredients together until you get desired consistency for drinking. {i add extra ice as i personally love mine freezing cold}.
feel free to add these health superfoods to your green smoothie if you have them on hand as well {1/4 c aloe juice, 1 tsp bee pollen - another energy booster, 1 tsp cod liver oil, 1 tsp spirinula, 1 tbsp maca, 1 tsp of powered tumeric or pinki size chunk, thumb size chunk of ginger}.
Notes
notes: *you want to use raw apple cider vinegar {acv} with 'the mother' still in it so it will look like there are chunks floating in it or settled at the bottom. and you may want to start with a smaller serving if you are sensitive to the acv taste. i personally LOVE Meg's homemade acv from modernroots.org. it's so mild, it's one of the only acv i can drink straight out of the jar. otherwise i recommend purchasing Bragg's organic raw acv.
*not all ingredients are required to make the 'perfect' smoothie {there is no such thing as the perfect smoothie in my world} use what you have on hand and play around with the ingredients/additions until you find what tickles your tastebuds.
