This sounds interesting! Would you mind posting the specifics of how you make this? what else goes in it? Protein powder? Ice cubes? etc? I have been enjoying smoothies but noticed I was inadvertently making them calorie-bombs by adding a lot of random stuff (chia, flax, avocados, honey) without thinking and wasn't losing any weight. So now I am a lot more conscientious about what I dump in there and portion everything out. Yours sounds interesting!
- icu 7y agoPut the following into a bender: * Half a cucumber (skin on) freshly juiced * A chunk of skinned ginger freshly juiced (about 4cm^3) * One tablespoon of chia seeds (freshly milled if possible) * One tablespoon of apple cider vinegar * One juiced lime * One avocado (skinned and pitted) * A large handful of rinsed kale * A large handful of rinsed spinach * Approximately 150ml of coconut water Blend this up and consume. Initially, I also juiced an apple for sweetness but now I don't need it anymore.
- randycupertino 7y agoCool; thanks for the reply and the details... added to the grocery list, will try this week! Cheers :)
- randycupertino 7y agoPS- have you calculated the calories in this? If not, I'll add it up in MyFitnessPal but thought you might know if you're making it often. Cheers and thnx again.
- icu 7y agoSorry I have no idea of the calorie content. It seems like a hot topic in the discussion is calorie counting, but I never did it. I just ate whenever I felt like it, until I was full, during my 8-hour feeding window. Perhaps I was consuming fewer calories because I was eating healthy. Perhaps I wasn't, but my body was excreting them out. No idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
