Tropical Green Smoothie Recipe
This delicious Tropical Green Smoothie Recipe is loaded with heaps of great-for-you ingredients and mentally it may just give you that calming "I'm in the exotics" feeling 🙂
The best way to start the day is with a nutritiously rich breakfast that is low glycaemic. And smoothies fall right into this category. They're ideal for fat release, sustained energy, easy digestibility and a balanced mood.
Always use a clean, healthy protein base with some healthy carbs, fats and fibre to feed your body optimal nutrients and keep you satiated.
With smoothies you can make totally delicious creations, while cramming so many nutrients into one meal - greens, herbs, spices and fruit. I absolutely love them!
Tropical Green Smoothie Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
- 350ml filtered water
- 2 ice cubes (optional)
- 2 squirts of fresh lime
- 1 serving of protein base (plant or whey)
- 8 raw cashews nuts

If you like the idea of smoothies but would prefer something more solid, smoothie bowls are a great alternative. Check out my Blackberry Smoothie Bowl Recipe.
