6 simple ingredients make up this sweet and delicious smoothie. You can pack it full of veg and no one will know!
Ingredients
1 cucumber, seeded and sliced
3 cups raw spinach
2 cups honeydew melon, cubed [about ½ a medium sized melon]
1 cup organic green tea
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ inch fresh ginger root
Instructions
Blend and enjoy!
Notes
I like to boil 8 cups of water on the stove on Sundays and throw a couple of tea bags in to steep for 10 minutes. Allow the tea to cool for a couple of hours, then fill mason jars up with the cooled tea. It makes for a great addition to on the go drinks.
Save the remaining serving in the fridge for the next day. Or freeze for later. If you’re planning to head to the gym, or you’re a bit younger in age, feel free to have the full smoothie in one sitting, or add protein powder to the mix.
If you’re unsure on how to seed a cucumber, here’s the method I’ve found most effective [psst this one’s for you Dad!]
