It was a great year end - lots of parties, lots of nosh and a bit of bubbly to wash it all down. Now it is back on the health train - I am sure a lot of you out there are also thinking the same thing. I am getting back into yoga, had to give it up for a while during Fall wedding season, we were just so busy. But yoga helps to keep me focused and a whole lot calmer (for which my staff are eminently grateful!). I am also back on smoothies for breakfast. It is a great way to start the day, and they are totally mobile, which is wonderful if you have a hectic schedule. When I am getting on the road early I make one the night before.
One of my favourite is the the following - all you need is a good blender!
Peach & Spinach Smoothie (yields 5 cups, enough for two to share!)
1 cup unsweetened Almond milk
1 cup purified water
2 cups fresh or frozen peaches
2 big handfuls of spinach
2 scoops protein powder (I use a vegan non soy protein powder)
2 scoops ground flax seed.
Put all of the ingredients in the blender, and puree. I puree until it goes nice and green. Pour into two glasses and enjoy. One should drink it within 24 hours.
This little smoothie keeps me going until lunch time!
