What other healthier substitutes for orange juice?
Below is the recipe for a HEALTHY green smoothie that I make my family every morning. It’s delicious and it keeps you full until lunch.
1 cup frozen fruit
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup skim milk plain almond milk, plain hemp milk or plain soy milk
1 scoop vanilla whey or other vanilla protein powder
2 BIG handfuls of spinach, mixed baby greens, baby kale or cabbage
1 tablespoon of ground flax see meal
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1 dash of cinnamon
Guys what’s with all the criticisms?? I’d far rather give this to my kids than the fizzy drinks and bags of sweets that most will be having in UK.
Substitute coconut water for the OJ and it will still taste great. I agree with the other posters, way too much sugar in this drink to be considered healthy. A chocolate bar has an average of 15 – 25 grams of sugar so how is this drink better?
