Cleanse Day 1 – Green Smoothie
March 16, 2009
Today is day 1 of our 12-Day Power Foods Boot Camp - affectionately know as the ‘Cleanse’. Today and tomorrow 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 6km 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!
Post Yoga and Run Power 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
2 tbsp hemp powder
2 tbsp sprouted flax powder (got it at Rainbow Foods on Richmond Rd)
2 tbsp unpasteurized honey
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
