I've put my 2 favorite recipes below and you'll find the others at Gwen's website.
Check them out and let me know what you think.
As Gwen says ...
Healthy smoothies can give you that boost of energy you’ll need for your day. Smoothies are amazing, it’s a morning beverage and breakfast in one. Depending on the ingredients you put in your smoothie, it can have different nutritional value and health benefits.
Recipe #1. Minty Pear-Honeydew Smoothie
This delicious smoothie is refreshing and delicious. Mint can help detoxify the skin, prevent hyper acidity, relieve headache, rich with energy boosting antioxidant and lessen menstrual cramps.
Pears give a very good source of vitamin C, copper, potassium and energy boosting fiber.
Honeydew is an effective way to maintain blood pressure levels and increases collagen production on the skin making it appear glowing and smooth.
Adding in ice is optional, the ice gives the smooth texture.
Ingredients
2 ripe Pears
0.50 c Mint Leaves
0.50 c Apple Juice
1 cup Ice cubes
1/2 c Honeydew
And, mmm, who can resist a banana and peanut butter smoothie, or a lush strawberry one? We have lots on the Drink Me Healthy website and you'll find Gwen's versions on her site. However I've chosen to go with this savory one ...
