I sit writing this on Easter Sunday, and the sun is shining so bright. Currently we are in Covid 1 lockdown, and many peoples lives have changed. I see this time as an opportunity to look after ourselves, perhaps better than we have been.
I'm sharing a simple smoothie recipe that is highly nutritious and supportive of our immune system. The ingredients for this smoothie are classically used more often in juices. I however, endorse smoothies over juices for two simple reasons; smoothies use the whole fruit/vegetable and leave no waste, and because of this contains beneficial fibre. Juices lack fibre due to the juicing process. If you currently do not have a blender or juicer and are looking to invest, I would go with a blender for these reasons plus more, including the versatility.
So, the magic ingredients of this nourishing sunshine smoothie....
1 apple
1/2 large carrot
1 inch piece ginger
2 dates
Juice of 1/2 lemon
10g walnuts
400ml cold water
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Place all ingredients into your blender and whizz until smooth. Add some ice to make it even cooler if required.
Stay safe and happy friends
Love Rachel x
