Green Smoothie

I just got back from a fantastic holiday with family and I am pleased that I was able to keep to my plant based way of eating without too much difficulty and even happier that my family enjoyed the food I prepared and could see what an improvement this has made to my health on every level.

The one thing I over indulged in was bread and few cake slices, so between that and the wetter weather at the end of my holiday my fingers are a bit sore due to a flare up of arthritis. However, I am really pleased that my blood glucose has stayed stable which is quite amazing and against the conventional idea that all carbs are pretty much a no go area. Admittedly bread, unless truly whole grain and sprouted and vegan cake are processed so not something we should eat much of whether we are worried about blood glucose or not.

This morning after the long flight yesterday I thought I would like to give my body a boost to ensure I don't succumb to jet lag so drank a couple of glasses of water and then made a huge green smoothie which is absolutely delicious and acts as a bit of a cleanser after the bread indulgences.

Green Smoothie
In the biggest jug your blender has put
1/2 cup frozen chopped Kale
3 squares or 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach
1 small cucumber
Top greener half of a Romaine lettuce
1/2 apple
1/2 bottle green kombucha drink
1 tblsp apple cider vinegar (get one that is unpasteurized & has the mother present)
1-2 cups of water depending on how thick you like it - I used 2 as I felt a bit dehydrated from the flight.

Wizz up in the blender, drink & enjoy
