Calorie controlled low sugar smoothie at around 170 calories. A perfect breakfast to refresh and energise you for the day ahead.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 cucumbers.
  • handful of kale
  • 5 fresh mint leaves
  • a sprig of fresh parsley.
  • 2 cm pieces fresh ginger.

  • 100ml coconut water.
  • 100ml water
  • juice of 1 lime

Add all ingredients to a blender along with a few ice cubes, and blend until smooth.

Optional:

These additions will increase the essential fatty acid content plus fibre and protein to make it a more filling smoothie but they will also increase the calorie content by around 90kcal per serving if you include both.
