Smoothie for beautiful skin & weight loss

Having bought a Nutribullet I wasn’t convinced that carrots and beetroot would be “juiced” enough.  They were!  Success! My latest breakfast is so quick, easy, tasty and healthy that I am just adding more and more ingredients to it each day!  Am completely in love with my new gadget. I know the “purists” will disapprove but, frankly, I haven’t got the time to stand at a Juicer every morning, feeding small pieces of carrot through a funnel.  Better to get those nutrients down you than not at all is all I can say. And your skin, hair and overall health will just say a huge thank you.

INGREDIENTS

This version works for me because I can also have it on my 5:2 "fast days" knowing it's no more than 150 calories IF I exclude coconut oil, or banana and avocado.

And, taking the latest research into account, I have put the veg into the order you should eat them for the highest nutrients for beautiful skin as well as the very best fruit & veg, for losing weight and keeping it off.

Swiss chard, spinach, carrot, yellow or orange pepper, a handful of berries, blueberries are the top of the list for skin, an apple or pear,  a dessert spoon of chia seeds, a dessert spoon of golden flaxseeds, a teaspoon of turmeric (anti-inflammatory), a teaspoon of cinnamon  (lowers cholesterol naturally), a tablespoon of protein powder, preferably raw, (link)  a heaped teaspoon of a raw green powder containing wheat grass, spirulina & barley grass etc. (I like Nature's Living Superfood by Kiki) and a raw egg which makes it all creamy and because it's a complete protein and we should all Go to Work on an Egg!  Finally, I add coconut water or filtered water liquid, but you can use anything you like as long as it's not packed with sweetener or sugar! 

What to add to your green smoothie for more carbs & a sweeter breakfast.

This is what I have every morning but you can add anything you like for taste or extra calories:  banana, mango, coconut oil, nuts, avocado etc. & substitute the powders for anything else you regularly use.  That's it, all the nutrients you need for health, beauty, ageing, & staying slim!

And if you want to see how I throw it all together, here's a short video on the perfect green smoothie.
