Wake up Smoothie

In the morning I really crave a smoothie that will wake me up and that can be made in less than five minutes.

Wake up Smoothie

Bag watercress
Banana
Mango
1 teaspooon Spirulina
Water

Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and you have a refreshing bright green smothie. Put in the ingredients in any quantity you fancy apart from the spirulina. I always put spirulina in my morning smoothies as I find it helps me to wake up.

Tip 1; Pre peel and chop mangoes when you buy them and store in a plastic box in your fridge until needed. It really takes the hasle out of peeling it before work. I tend to freeze some mango as well so I have something ready for any emergencies where I am out of anything fresh.

Tip 2; Shop around for superfoods. I find most superfoods really overpriced. Always compare prices. This is the cheapest I have found in my local town. I did find another company selling Spirulina for over twice the amount!

Tip 3; Allways start the day with a cup of warm water with a slice of lemon. It has to be the most cheap detox drink around. Your digestion will thank you for it.
