We all know that green smoothies are good for us and trust me this one tastes so delicious you won't realise how good for you it is!
You will need:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1 nectarine, chopped
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp maca powder
Blend it up & enjoy!
I actually ended up using an extra nectarine myself just because I had them to use it! You can always increase or decrease the amounts to your taste but try to keep a good amount of greens in there.
Friday Superfood ~ Chia Seeds!
These tiny black seeds are packed full of amazing nutrients and are great to add to your smoothies ~
- Chia seeds are one of the highest plant based sources of protein you can find, protein is a must for building lean muscle.
- They are high in magnesium, potassium and calcium which are essential nutrients for keeping your body happy and healthy.
- They are a great source of fibre which not only keeps you feeling fuller for longer but is great for digestion and regulating your system, which contributes towards detoxing!
- High in Omega 3 essential fatty acids which are vital for healthy skin, hair and nails
What have you been adding to your green smoothies this week?
I really want to try this with my Chia seeds now. Might look up so other recipes though as I'm really not a fan of Spinach. Are you sure you can't taste it? lol. I like all the other ingredients :) xxo
