23 January 2015 - This Mornings Green Smoothie

Delicious nutritious green smoothie  Serves 1

This I prepared in the nutri bullet but you could easily use a blender to get the same results.

3 leafs of little gem lettuce.
Half a stalk of celery sliced
2 dwarf french beans  cut in pieces
a knob of green root ginger (sliced a few times)
1 small apple, pealed and chopped
half a banana
Almond Milk near to max line
Whizzed that in the smaller bullet cup to smoothness of choice (less than 30 seconds)

Pour into glass, add:
1 dessert spoon of natural live yoghurt
pre soaked chia seeds 2-4 teaspoons
2 teaspoons of lidl's nut and seed mix (ready milled)

Stir and enjoy :)    :clown:

June's own Concoctions

June’s own Nutri Bullet Recipe Diary.

Cup of Almond Milk
Fresh turmeric and ginger root about little finger nail amount. Chopped
Qqtr teaspoon coconut oil (food grade of course)
Warmed this in the microwave to dissolve the solid coconut oil
Let this cool a bit –

Mean time add to bullet cup:
1 small leaf of kale
1 small carrot chopped
1 mandarin skinned

Pour the Warmed milk mix into the bullet
Add some milled black pepper

And process. 

Colour comes out a lime green, its delicious and nutritious, anti inflammatory, immune system boost :O) 


Rinse utensils straight away as turmeric root stains and the powder would.  I would say the flavour would be better with fresh turmeric root (but not tried it with dried turmeric) it would probably depend on the quality and grade of the powdered turmeric used I’d say (and how fresh it was)


I was so eager to consume I never thought to take a photo.
