A smoothie that is balanced with limited calories can be a meal replacement when time is a factor. But let's do it right! A balanced smoothie drink: the colour differs according to the proportion of components. I use a base of Coconut Water which helps to balance the minerals Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium and which is hydrating.... 1. PROTEIN: hemp seeds OR Greek Yogurt OR Kefir 2. CARBOHYDRATE: Any berries OR 1/2 banana OR kiwi + handful of spinach 3. HEALTHY FAT: frozen PC avocado chunks OR hemp seeds if not used previously 4. FIBRE: 1T ground flax and chia (Organic Traditions) 5. BOOST: 1 heaping tsp green barley powder or matcha powder * If you prefer a looser drink, add more coconut water * Add a slice of lemon and/or 1/2 ginger for some zing See more
