GREEN SMOOTHIE

A simple green smoothie recipe for beginners

recipes

As you probably know from my recent Instagram story, celebrity chef Rachel Allen has recently teamed up with Herbalife to create some nutritious healthy shakes recipes and as a self-proclaimed foodie and avid smoothie lover, I couldn’t wait to plug in my blender when my luxury Herbalife* hamper arrived last week.

The hamper was filled with two Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal tubs, a blue Herbalife shaker cup, a blue apron, an olive wood serving board and of course, two of Rachel Allen’s delicious recipes.

The recipe I will be sharing today is called the Green Goddess. It is light, fresh and has a lovely zesty flavour to it. Best part? You can enjoy it at any time of the day! So without further ado, here is what you need to make Rachel Allen’s Green Goddess shake 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 26g Herbalife Formula 1 Vanilla flavour
  • 100g raw celery, roughly chopped
  • 100g raw cucumber, roughly chopped
  • 100g raw spinach
  • 3 tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 250ml milk
  • 150g ice

Instructions:

  1. Start by putting the milk and formula 1 powder in a blender.
  2. Blend together and then add in remaining ingredients before blending further.
  3. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Add in some extra lemon or lime juice to suit your taste! (I added a tsp of spirulina powder for added benefits).

This shake is so easy and convenient to make, especially for beginners! It has appx 220 kcal per serving when made per instructions! Are you a fan of smoothies? If so, be sure to give this shake a try! For more recipes with Rachel, check out the Herbalife website here! 🙂

3 Green smoothie recipes

I’ve been asked on several occasions to to do a few smoothie recipes on my blog. If you follow me of Facebook or Twitter, you would know that I am big into making smoothies (they’re just so refreshing!)
Lately, I’ve been trying to add some  vegetables into my recipes and after a series of trial and error, the three smoothies that made it to the finish line are…..
3. Banana and avocado smoothie
Since bananas are naturally sweet, this smoothie doesn’t need an additional sweetener!
If you really have a sweet tooth, you can add some honey (nobody’s judging you…)

2. Avocado and spinach smoothie
This green smoothie makes for a great post-workout snack! Since it has spinach, it helps increase muscle growth – Popeye had it right all along!

1.Spinach and apple smoothie
I particularly like this one because even after 48 hours in the fridge, it still tastes amazing! You can make it at night, bottle it up and have it for breakfast! (for two consecutive days if you’d like)

I’m still experimenting with kale and a few other vegetables, but for the moment, I’m liking these three! Let me know if you decide to try any of them!
