Veggies with green leaves are a fantastic addition to your diet, as they restore the alkalinity of your body and nourish it with powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. While spinach is packed with Calcium and Vitamin A, kale is the queen of greens, with high quality anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and cancer preventing phytonutrients, such as Vitamin K, Iron and carotenoids. Pair them with the powerful detox agent which is spirulina, and you got the recipe for a healthy life.
Every now and then, replace your morning coffee with this chlorophyll and antioxidants rich green smoothie you will feel refreshed and youll give your body an energy kick and a powerful detox way to start the day.
Method
Wash the greens with plenty of water, drain and place in the blender. Add the bananas (you can use frozen bananas for a richer texture freezing the ripe bananas is a great way to preserve the black bananas that you dont use otherwise), the vegan milk, the lime juice and blend until all incorporated. If you prefer your smoothie sweeter, you can blend the pitted dates with the other ingredients, or add a teaspoon of good quality raw honey when the smoothie is ready. Add the spirulina and pulse one time. Have your smoothie right away to benefit at maximum from the powerful nutrients.
