Smoothie of the Day: Green Delight

It's Sunday - the fridge is full again and I have all sorts of variations possible for a lovely vitamin kick in the morning....and decided to go for some celery as a veggie.

Don't like celery? That is what I thought. Until I tried it in a smoothie, particularly the green ones. Can't always have spinach, right? Or kale. Give it a try and make sure it is super fresh - when it loses water, the taste can become a tad over-powering.

So here's today's recipe for two portions:

• 1 kiwi (the yellow ones - they are a tad smoother and milder than the green ones)
• A small handful of white grapes
• 1 stick celery
• 1/2 banana
• 3 sticks of basil (complete or just the leaves)
• 300 ml cold water

Put all into a blender and mix creamy.

Useful knowledge for the advanced smoothie drinker: kiwi are amongst the top fruit in terms of ant-inflammatory properties. Like pineapple the fruit contains enzymes which support your body to fight inflammation (the root cause for a lot of diseases, even auto-immune ones).

Besides that they contain lots of vitamin C. But you knew that anyway :-).

See you tomorrow!
