HERE IS OUR FAVOURITE SMOOTHIE RECIPE FOR GETTING A HOLIDAY GLOW…

You need:

1 cup packed kale leaves, stems removed (or spinach’)

1 cup packed spinach leaves

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 green apple, cored and diced

1/2 cucumber

1/2 teaspoon agave nectar (or raw honey)

1/2 cup filtered water

3 ice cubes

Remove the seeds from the cucumber and blend all the ingredients together. Spinach can replace the kale if you prefer – being an easier vegetable to break down.

Enjoy.
