Last week
I told you guys that I am trying to include green leafy vegetables into my diet
in one way or another and I shared with you Green smoothie recipe here. Today I am
sharing yet another recipe with you guys. I love fresh fruit smoothies and can
have them at any given time. So here I tried to get the best of both worlds my
beloved fruit smoothies with greens.
Recipe:
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups berries (I have used blue berries and cranberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 ½ cup yoghurt
- 1 cup mango juice
Blend your greens first so they are no
chunks. Add in everything else and blend them together until smooth.
It doesn't look that appealing but it
tastes amazing and is healthy.
Hope you

Do you eat
your green and how good are you at doing so? When it comes to eating greens I
am really really bad at doing so. I know all about the health benefits and
nutrients green leafy vegetables are packed with but still somehow I don’t eat
them so often. But as I am getting older, I am realising that I have to make
some changes in my eating habits so that I stay healthy and fit. I am not
changing my complete diet but planning to incorporate more greens into it and
keeping a very realistic approach towards it. I have been experimenting with
recipes for a while now and figuring out what I like and what I don’t like. I
have to admit it is not that easy. Some were okay but some where out right
disastrous. I am still in the trying out and experimenting phase of things. But
amidst all this I have found that the easiest and quickest way of including
greens in your diet is through smoothies. You don’t have to think much just
through in whatever greens and fruits you have and you are done. But still I am
sharing the recipe that I usually follow but there is no hard and fast rule.
You can switch up the fruits or greens according to your liking but keep the
proportions same.
Recipe:
- 2 cups of water( you can
substitute with coconut water)
- 2 cups spinach
- ½ cucumber
- 1 green apple
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste optional
- Mint to garnish optional
Blend your
greens first so they are no chunks. Add in everything else and blend them
together until smooth.
For me
this is easiest way of having greens. Ideally you should drink it daily but I
am still working on it but I do it every other day. I am quite happy that I
have found a way to include greens in my diet and I planning to stick to it.

Hello Everyone,
I love love
chocolates like everybody else and I know how hard it is to restrict yourself
from eating chocolates everyday. Why? Why? I am guilty of eating chocolate
everyday but I can’t help it, it’s too damn difficult. It’s not good and I know
it, but there has to be a way and I found it. Perfect way to eat chocolate
everyday and it’s healthy too. Yay. Today I am sharing this raw chocolate
recipe with all the chocolate lovers out there.
Makes about 25 balls
Ingredients:
- 2
cups of dates (about 20)
- ½
cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups of mixed nuts (i used
almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts)
- 1 cup of desiccated or shredded
coconut
How to:
- Soak the dates for 30 minutes
and then remove the seeds.
- Blend your nuts coarsely and
then add your dates and blend again.
- Add coconut and cocoa powder
and blend until a paste is formed.
- Roll the mixture into balls
using your hands and then coat in coconut by rolling.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hrs or
overnight. You can use them for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
*If you
find mixture is too wet add more nuts and do taste it to see if you want to
adjust the flavours.
