The Hugely Green Smoothie Recipe
The hugely green smoothie is my latest regular morning smoothie and I love it!
Don’t forget that a good green smoothie needs Protein
Why? Because a concentration of fruit and vegetables often has a high glycaemic load and can spike your blood sugar levels which is why you usually instantly feel energised with a green smoothie. By adding protein: you will help slow down the release of sugars into the blood stream and help keep insulin levels from spiking. Adding protein helps even out the glycaemic load and keeps your energy levels on a more even plane for longer.
This recipe really makes 2 smoothies. Sometimes I drink it all, other times I save the second smoothie in the fridge for the next day…..especially if the next day is a get up and go day. You get a good hit of protein from the sacha inchi protein powder and chia seeds so however you choose to make your green smoothie be sure to add these two products. Eat better, think better, feel better Donna If you would like to find out more about the superfoods used in our recipes, check out the Superfood Ingredients website with lots of great information on each ingredient we use!
