Brain Juice: Introducing the Designer Smoothie

Great for your mental stamina and vitality during those 10 hour design meetings, Belle has one every morning and stays fresh as a daisy all day! Delicious! (one thing it doesn’t do is prevent embarrassing photos)

Ingredients:

2 Medium sized Kale Leaves (picked fresh from your garden)

1 Small bunch English Spinach (including stalks)

½ Medium Sized Banana

¼ Avocado

1 Tbsp Raw Jarrah Honey

2 Tbsp Chia Seeds

1 Tbsp Maca Powder

¼ Cup Blue Berries

1 Hand Full of Broccoli Sprouts

¼ Cup Filtered Water

6 Holy Basil (Tulsi) Leaves

(Makes enough for 2)

All ingredients are Lactose and Gluten Free!

For you Chocoholics out there 1 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder can be added.

If you’re not a fan of honey, it can be replaced with 1 tbsp Agave Syrup

Method: Put all ingredients in a blender, Hit Blend, Continue until blended, Pour. Drink. Enjoy.

*Holy Basil is great for memory and focus, especially good for busy people, also it is renowned for its healing properties.

*Raw Jarrah Honey (although sometimes hard to get) is the most potent of Australian honeys, Low GI, highest antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities and it tastes good.

*Cacao Powder in moderation is a very potent antioxidant and very high in magnesium (which is the most common of nutrient deficiencies amongst humans), be cautious though, its deliciously addictive.

* Kale is an excellent source of calcium, vitamins C, A and E.

* Chia seeds are the highest source of plant based Omega-3

Most of these ingredients are safe; however, every person reacts differently to different types of foods, so research the ingredients to make sure they are safe for you.
