Spinach and Avocado smoothie

One of my favorite!

Great one to start your day, to boost your breakfast, but also as a snack or even before training.

Serves 2

• 1 handful of baby spinach, washed
• 1/2 avocado, cut into small chunks
• 1/3 cucumber with peel, washed and cut into chunks
• 1 small handful of fresh coriander
• 1/2 lime, washed, with the skin
• 2 or 3 slices of fresh ginger,washed,with the skin
• filtered water or raw coconut water
• optional add  matcha tea or super green powder

 

Method:

Throw all those ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.

 

Leafy greens:

• low in calories
• packed with vitamins (clear skin and healthy immune systems)
• spinach and kale contain more potassium than bananas
• can help reduce blood pressure
• keep you feeling full longer which will help you avoid unnecessary snacking

Avocados:

• excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E
• high in calories due to the high fat content
• more soluble fiber than other fruit
• contain a number of useful minerals such as iron, copper and potassium
• a good source of the B vitamin, foliate.

Cucumber:

• high alkaline levels (regulates the body’s blood pH and neutralizes its acidity)
• excellent cleansing properties (actively remove accumulated waste and toxins)
• optimize urinary bladder, kidney, liver and pancreatic functions
• promotes muscle flexibility
• ensures proper blood circulation and relaxed nerves due to its magnesium content

Coriander:

• treatment of skin inflammation and skin disorders
• high cholesterol levels and blood sugar disorders
• diarrhea and indigestion
• mouth ulcers
• anemia, menstrual disorders
• conjunctivitis, while also benefiting eye care

Ginger

• contains very potent anti-inflammatory compounds gingerols
• these could explain why so many people with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis experience reductions in their pain levels and improvements in their mobility when they consume ginger regularly
• gingerols inhibit the formation of inflammatory cytokines (chemical messengers of the immune system)

Lime:

• well known for its medicinal properties , the nutritional benefits of limes do not differ very much from those of lemons
• both are excellent sources of vitamin C, B6, potassium, foliate, flavonoids and the outstanding phytochemical, limonene. Limonene have anti-cancer effects and help increase the level of enzymes that detoxify carcinogens

 

Remember that
Our body is a fabulous ecosystem, so we must take care of it, respect it, and listen to it
Nice day to all of you 💙 🙏 🌼
