I'm always looking for ways to add more vegies in my life and a smoothie is such a simple solution.
I found this simple recipe from food.com that doesn't require much from your fridge at all. I generally don't use measurements, I just add enough to make a big smoothie for myself.
1 banana
1 serve of yoghurt
Water
Handful or 2 of baby spinach leaves
Stick in the blender & press go!
Bananas are a healthy, low GI carbohydrate and a great source of antioxidants, vitamins & potassium (great for muscles!)
I personally use Farmers Union Greek Style Yoghurt. It's thick, it's creamy, it tastes fantastic and is a great source of calcium & protein.
The combination of the banana & yoghurt make this an ideal drink for after a big workout.
A little word of warning with this smoothie, it tastes delicious, but the combination of the spinach and banana left me with bad breath. So best drink this one at home where you have easy access to your toothbrush (a simple trade off for an extra serve of veg!)
