Why I like using smoothies so much in diet:

• They are fast food
• They require little preparation or washing up!
• They are packed full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
• They taste heavenly
• You can make them light or heavy depending on your mood and condition
• They are easily digested giving your digestion a break!

Some recipes I like to use regularly:

Mango and Pear

2x pears

½ mango

½ apple

½ avocado

2 x tbsp sprouted seeds/beans

1 tsp flax

2 tsp lecithin

½ cup pure apple juice

Fill the rest with water and blend away!

Pear and Berry

You can use all the above ingredients and replace the mango with your fave berries. I like blueberries and strawberries because of the colour! If you are feeling light take away the avocado. Or if you have a long morning to get through add the avocado for a slow release of essential fats throughout the morning.

Therapeutic Smoothie

Sometimes I don’t want to be cleansed I just want to be reassured. Smoothies can be very acidic and high in potassium and sometimes I don’t feel like that so here is what I do.

1 heaped tbsp of congee (millet/rice)

1 tsp flax oil

2 tsp lecithin

2 heaped tbsp sprouts

7 x drops of calm and clear flower essence

1 x large pear

Handful of berries

Slosh of juice and the rest water…delicious and very calming.

I hope you enjoy experimenting! I would love to hear your own recipes too!
