My Dr has put me on very high dose antibiotics and i have not been feeling too good, plus i am tired from a lot of travel. When i am tired, i crave carbs and then i am more tired as my system tries to digest them. My favourite oatckes disappear faster than Paul Daniels's assistants.
So, what to do?
I decided that i'd make a green smoothie for lunch as a boost.
Here is what i made:
2 handfuls of raw (or equivilent of frozen) spinach
1 ripe banana (the riper the better, as it makes it sweet)
1 crisp sweet apple (i used a British Cox's - none of your foreign apples for me)
Water & Ice
2 tsp of Chia seeds (optional)
I did core the apple - don't know why as i usually don't.
Place it all in a high powered blender.
Blend on slow speed and push down with the pusher to get it started, then blend until smooth and unctuous. You can add more water if you want and i would do if you use Chia as it absorbs water.
I was not really expecting it to taste great, but it really did. Sweet and refreshing and a good lunch.
You should not eat anything else 40 mins either side of a Green Smoothie as it gets in the way of digesting it.
30 mins later and i feel a lot better than i did this morning. Let's hope it lasts and helps me rid my body of this annoying infection.
