Green Smoothie Week – Wowzers Wednesday

Hello everyone,

Obnoxious alarm did its job at 6am and I was up and getting a much needed cuppa.

I did an arm workout this morning and it surprised me just what a weakling I am in that department.  A few years ago I was using 5-6 kg dumbells, today……. 1.5kg – 2kg !!!!!!!!!!   Shocking, this must be changed pronto. 

So now I am going to add in some serious arm work to build those muscles.  I will use my gym ball as a bench so I get a core and butt workout at the same time trying not to fall off it.  I have some books on weight exercises so I am going to write myself a little program up. 

I will share this with you when I have done it.

This morning’s smoothie was a corker so I called it Green Smoothie Week – Wowzers Wednesday as it turned out like soft ice-cream with all the frozen fruit and a whole avocado.  Yum.  So, here it is.

Ingredients

·         350ml – 400ml Coconut milk (you can use almond or oat or any other milk of choice)

·         1 heaped teaspoon of Pea protein powder

·         1 heaped teaspoon of Hemp protein powder (you can substitute both of these powders for any protein powder you have)

·         2 heaped tablespoon of ground flax meal

·         ½ teaspoon of Maca powder

·         1 teaspoon of Wheatgrass powder

·         1 sliced frozen banana (I keep a stock of these in the freezer in little bags so they are ready to go)

·         Handful of frozen raspberries

·         Handful of frozen peach and nectarine slices

·         1 an avocado

·         Handful of spinach

Blend it all together and enjoy :-)
