Green Smoothie with Chia- and Flax Seeds
Combining vegetables and sweet fruits is a great way to make tasty morning smoothies. This green smoothie recipe also includes some chia- and flax seeds to add those healthy omega-3s.
Ingredients
- 70 g avocado (½ avocado)
- 70 g apple (½ an apple)
- 150 g honeydew melon (¼ of a medium melon)
- 80 g cucumber
- 10 g ginger peeled
- 100 g broccoli (weigh before boiled)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
- 2 dl water
Instructions
- Boil the broccoli until tender (do not add any salt to the water). If you have the time, let the boiled broccoli water cool down and use this as the added water in the recipe. This way you don`t have to let the nutrients in the water go to waste. The broccoli is also the ingredient that gives the smoothie that nice green color.
- Roughly chop up the fruits and veggies and add them to your blender
- Add the boiled broccoli, the chia seeds and flax seeds and the water to your blender. If you have time to let it cool down you can use some of the water from boiling the broccoli.
- Mix/blend until creamy and smooth. If you like your smoothie a bit more liquid you can simply add more water or some apple juice.
