Green Mean Machine Smoothie

For me, this is the definition of healthy. As you taste it, you can feel the delicious goodness running through your body. So why is it so healthy? 

Kale – Rich in folate, vitamin C and K, calcium, iron, and beta-carotene. It’s also a hormone balancer, digestion booster, anti-inflammatory, and contains omega-3 fatty acids.
Cucumber - Prevents water retention, promotes a healthy digestive track, packed with bioavailable minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes.
Apple – Source of fibre and vitamin C, helps balance blood sugar levels, boosts digestion, reduces inflammation
Spinach - Low in calories and high in vitamins, spinach is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in existence.

Serves 1
1 handful of curly kale
1 handful of spinach
About 10 slices of cucumber
sliced eating apple 
200ml homemade apple juice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Simply, put all the ingredients into a blender and whiz together. Pour into a glass and enjoy! 

Top tip: Pour into a jam jar for an smoothie on-the-go.
