I’m a huge fan of smoothies and freshly made juices. This audacious green smoothie is great for breakfast or after a workout – the choice is completely yours.
Now, whilst the gorgeous photo used for this post isn’t mine, the recipe is based on exactly what I use to make my smoothie. I use a brilliant app called Nutracheck which is a Calorie & Nutrient tracking app. I log a vast majority of the things I eat daily and build my meals in the app to monitor my intake when it comes to calories, fat, sugar, salt etc.
Okay, so let’s get into the audacious green smoothie! The reason why I love it is because it’s super tasty, and supports cleansing out my system. Plus, based on the ingredients listed it’s 3.5 portions of my 5-a-day.

You can use brands of your choice and if almond milk isn’t your jam, feel free to use a non-dairy milk of choice.
