GREEN LEMON-LIME SMOOTHIE



As my dad so eloquently said when he saw a picture of this smoothie; ‘it looks much more appetising that the darker green one!’ (which I posted a few days ago). This green smoothie was indeed lighter in consistency and flavour than my first attempt and helped me greatly in reducing a rare hangover last Sunday morning. Either green smoothie works well, my advice is to try both and see which one your palate favours (I'm currently torn between the two!). I really enjoyed the lemon and lime zing and the freshness of the cucumber. I still cannot believe I’m drinking vegetables! It really is an inspired way to increase your vegetable intake. 


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lebanese cucumber, roughly chopped
  • the juice of 1/2 lemon
  • the juice of 1/2 lime

  • 1/2 cup coconut water

1. Throw all ingredients into a blender with a handful of ice and blend until smooth.
