I find the green smoothies are my favourite, especially this one which I find very Zen like, relaxing, soothing and oh-so-nutricious! It’s really high in Vitamin’s A & C, a good source for Calcium and Iron and high in dietary fiber. I especially love the dash of lime that brings a refreshing zip to the creamy avocado, garlic and cilantro & spinach combination.
Ingredients:
Makes 1.5 litres (3 servings of 500ml each)
- 3 cups water
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 limes, peel/rind removed
- 2-3 handfuls spinach
Add all ingredients to the blender in the order listed. Blend on low speed and gradually increase speed. Blend on high until smooth and frothy.

). It’s not uncommon to see me standing over the sink enjoying the plush juiciness of a mango right from the peel/core! Oh my lord, I so love them!! Needless to say I have enjoyed many mangoes these past few weeks. When using mangoes in smoothies, I like to keep it simple as I love the flavour and texture that Mangoes give to any smoothie. This smoothie is a prime example, I love its simplicity with only a few ingredients, but very powerful and nutritious ingredients! This smoothie is very high in Vitamins A & C as well it is high in Vitamin B6, potassium and dietary fiber. Oh and I love the brilliant green colour of mango smoothies! My love affair with mangoes is never ending! As always, I hope you will enjoy as much as I do! ♡♡
Yet another nutritious combination that is filled with antioxidants from the wonderfully fresh blue & black berries. It’s also very high in Vitamin A & C, dietary fibre and manganese and high in magnesium and potassium and a good source of calcium and iron. All in all a power packed nutritional breakfast that is sure to hit the spot.

The last day of 2012 and I’m well on the road to feeling more clarity and “cleaner”. Yippee, I’m loving this Clean(er) Eating Program. I’ve done this for two years now, started with cleaner eating on Boxing Day. Last year I tried my 5-Post Christmas Cleanse and this year this 12-Day Clean(er) Eating Program. I must say, it’s a great way to say farewell to a year, and a great way to welcome a new year… by feeling cleaner with more clarity of mind!!
Well to close out 2012 I scanned the fridge to find what combination was in store!! Kiwi, blueberry, cashews!! Sold!! And with that a
