CLEAN EATING #14 – Double Layer Green Smoothie
There are many ways to blend a jar of green smoothie and I found that in my past two attempts, the ingredients of the green smoothie is similar. So the next day after making both the Healthy Strawberry Pancakes and Vegan Green Smoothie, I decided to do a jar of duo layered green smoothie!
The pictures above show the ingredients I used for blending the smoothie. Scroll down further to check out my recipe.
So as the title says, this is a duo layered green smoothie and the following is the recipe:
- 1st layer:
- - 3 strawberries
- - 1 cup of spinach
- - 1/2 dragonfruit
- - 1/2 cup of coconut water
- - 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds
- - 1/2 tablespoon of amaranth
- - 1/8 cup of almonds
- in between the two layers:
- - small amount of goji berries
- - small amount of pomegranate seeds
- 2nd layer:
- - 2 kiwis
- - 1 cup of spinach
- - 1 cup of raspberries
- - 1/2 cup of coconut water
- - 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds
- - 1/2 tablespoon of almonds
I topped my two layer green smoothie with the following raw food in chronological order from left to right:
- - chia seeds
- - goji berries
- - amaranth
- - pomegranate seeds
- - almonds
I believe I have written about all the benefits of the ingredients I have used in my previous entries but I would like to emphasize that spinach, similar to carrot, is an excellent source of beta-carotene. It is also an antioxidant that has shown to fight heart diseases, cancer and reduce the risks of cataracts. So be like Popeye and EAT/DRINK your spinach today!! I have another different type of clean eating meal that I will talk about in my next entry so stay tuned!
