Green Goddess Nectar Smoothie

Green Smoothie Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 cup spinach or kale
• 1/2-1 banana/1/2-1 cup strawberries or 1/2-1 cup grapes or a mixture (frozen is great!)
• Ice cubes

Optional:

• 1-2 scoops of your favourite protein powder if you want something filling.
• A few mint leaves
• A touch of cucumber

Method:

1. Pop it all into a blender.
2. Whizz.

We told you. Easy peasy.

100% natural coconut water is a good source of electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium while providing a tasty, slightly sweet flavour to your green smoothie. 

We love smoothies as a convenient and easy way to add more green vegetables (and all their goodies!) to the diet. Spinach and kale are both considered superfoods – packed with vitamins A, K phosphorus, calcium and magnesium – these essential nutrients all provide awesome benefits for the health of your skin, bones, hair, and cells!
