Rarely have I been a smoothie person. I completely overdosed on them when I was living in Prague and would simply throw every possible ingredient in and with a scoop of protein powder and call it breakfast. Although they were delicious they were also full of the wrong nutrients for my body. Therefore I gained a few kilos and swore them off. It's a dangerous game juicing and smoothie making. You start blending and blending and sometimes you don't really think of measure what exactly it is you are mixing.
Today I did just that! I threw in a banana, a whole orange, an apple and 1/2 cup raspberries. All well until you have a towering glass full of 4 large portions of fruit in liquid form. I am a firm believer of when you have some fruit you should have some nuts with it. Anything really to slow down the fruit sugar from hiring your bloodstream quickly. Sounds weird perhaps but it's something I once read in a physiology book.
So today I just poured half a glass and sipped this dream of a smoothie.
I will be trying many more versions so keep you updated! Looking to make the most nutrient dense but also tasty smoothie/ juice I can dream up. Watch this space!
p.s - Did I mention I love my Vitamix?
