Annabel, one of our amazing naturopaths at The Herbal Dispensary, shares one of her smoothie ideas!

 With Summer here, morning smoothies are in full swing.

 I’ve been adding frozen cucumbers and celery as the base and it’s so good- an alternative to frozen banana (there is absolutely nothing wrong with banana but I find it can make smoothies quite sweet so this is a low fructose option, which may help to sustain blood sugar levels throughout the day).

 The cucumber has a neutral taste and I combine it with a handful of blueberries, greens like baby spinach or dandelion leaves, a spoonful of raw cacao, hemp seeds for a complete plant protein and avocado for the essential fatty acids and to make a creamy and satisfying base.

 Add some water, blend and sip in the sun. X
