Clean eats: 3 low-cal, high-fibre smoothies AND juices

I'm not advocating a full-on liquid breakfast every day but, if your week starts without even a crumb of toast between Monday and Wednesday then, listen up: Meet your sister and take [her] advice on this weeks menu. These options taste deceivingly good and the prep-time is under five minutes. Wake up feeling positive when you have one of these to look forward to: 1. Minty-green juice For this, you'll need a juicer. Greens are an excellent source of magnesium, and potassium for that morning boost. 5 apples cored & chopped 3 cups spinach 4 celery stalks 2 cups of mint leaves 1 lime, peeled 3 ice cubes 1 scoop of Chlorophyll or Moringa powder can be used for an antioxidant hit (to be added when blending, not to be used when pregnant or nursing) Freeze: Divide 3 portions, evenly. Blend immediately or pop into a bag or container. 2. Carrot and beet juice Use a juicer for this one. Carrot and beetroot are superb to increase blood flow to the brain. Goodbye brain-freeze. 5 washed, peeled and diced carrots 3 trimmed, peeled and quartered fresh beets (not from a jar) 3 cm piece of fresh ginger 3 ice cubes Stir to combine Freeze: Divide 3 portions, evenly. Blend immediately or pop into a bag or container. 3. Berry smoothie Use the Nutribullet or your blender for this recipe. These super-fruits are great for the heart. Perfect for brekkie or dessert. 3 cups of coconut/filtered water or coconut milk 3 tbsp of almond butter and a couple of whole almonds 3 cups of frozen/fresh mixed berries 3 cubes of ice 3 tbsp of UDO's Oil (to be added when blending) Freeze: Divide 3 portions, evenly. Blend immediately or pop into a bag or container.
