Cleanse Day 1 – Green Smoothie
March 16, 2009
Today is day 1 of our 12-Day Clean Eating Challenge- affectionately know as the ‘Cleanse’. We follow a Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Coffee-Free, Vegan Diet, and every morning we start with a Green Smoothie.
I made my smoothie last night and stored it in the fridge, for me this works really well as I am out of the house at 5:25am to teach our amazing Powerful Woman Yoga Boot Camp classes, and after that Jeanette (my co-coach in the half-marathon class), Ali (artist extraordinaire), and I went for a long run – I needed that smoothie to be ready when I got back!!
Here’s the recipe – double tested by Jeanette who gave it 2 thumbs up! This made 2 servings.
Post Yoga and Run Elation Green Smoothie
- 8 medium-sized leaves of Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- 8 leaves Dinasoure Kale, chopped
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup frozen pineapple (maybe a bit less)
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 2 small bananas, chopped
- 1 tsp spirulina (a powdered green supplement)
- 2 tbsp hulled hemp seed
- 2 tbsp sprouted flax powder (got it at Rainbow Foods on Richmond Rd)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or raw agave nectar (optional)
- Water to thin to desired consistency
Blend until very smooth, this makes a huge amount – enough for 2 hungry gals after yoga and a run!
ENJOY
