Welcome to Drinks Tube. I'm Dave I'm Steve, we're identical twins we're from The Happy
Pear Gracetown County Wicklow, IRELAND. We're all about health, happiness and community
and today we're gonna make you one of our favourite drinks. What is it Dave? It's the
Health Emerald Green Smoothie. Sluuurp. Really good for you packed full of protein, it will
fill you up and it is emerald green so it's absolutely fantastic and perfect to make for
St Patrick's Day. So we're gonna be making this all in a blender here so really easy
to make. First up we've got half a pineapple, we just skinned it and cored it. Pineapple
is gonna bring a real natural sweetness to this and it's also full of a mineral called
Manganese. Manganese is great for your joins and for healthy bones so a total winner too.
Ok lets get it in there. Welcome pineapple. So now we're gonna be taking the mint leaves
off the stalks of mint. And mint if you didn't know was St Patrick's favourite herb. Top
man St Pat. So that's leaves from just four or five mint sprigs that we put in there.
Ok next up we're gonna add in our lime. We've got a very fancy Mexican elbow here but don;t
you know if you don't have one at home it doesn't matter at all. Juice of one whole
lime. This is gonna add a lovely zingy flavour and just bring the whole smoothie together
beautifully. So the next ingredient we're gonna be adding in is Spirulina powder, this
is gonna make our smoothie really super green. Spirulina is a blue/green algae a great source
of calcium, iron get it into ya, it's so good for ya. Get it in every health food store
and loads of supermarkets too. We've got one teaspoon here and i'm just gonna add it in
now. So next ingredients is avocado, we've got half an avocado. Avocado smoothies are
super trendy now so if you wanna be trendy this is it! So will add a real creaminess
to this smoothie good source of vitamin E and great for your cells. Get on into it.
Whoaaa look at that just use a spoon, in she goes. We've got 700ml of cloudy apple juice
tadaaaaa. So this will add a lovely sweetness to the smoothy and bring it all together so
if you like Paddy's Day at all give a little like below please and thanks a million. Spinach,
fantastic spinach we've just got 30g of it, it's gonna help the smoothie give it this
nice green colour and spinach is packed with vitamin K so great for healthy bones. Really
good source of iron too, great for blood flow for transporting oxygen round your body spinach
is fantastic. Ground flaxseed, fantastic and loaded with protein. So protein as we said
earlier for growth and repair really also great source for omega 3 fatty acids so great
for hair skin joints, and it was one of St Patrick's favourite things to take and that's
why St Patrick was such a clever little fella. He wasn't little, he was a big man. How do
you know? Did you know him well? OK so you've got 2 teaspoons of flaxseed here in yous go.
OK so now all that's left is blending it. So on goes the lid and here we go. Are you
ready? Fantastic, look at the green colour straight from the Emerald Isle woooooo green
Isle Ireland OK so we've got two glasses of ice that we're just gonna pour it into.
That looks fab doesn't it. Look at that. St Patrick would be proud! So we're gonna garnish
it today with some bee pollen you see gorgeous superfood. Which is probably sounds totally
weird to just about everyone out there but it you have it great it just makes it look
cool but if you don't have it that's totally cool. So bee pollen by the way is just pollen
from flowers which bees have managed to catch from out on their travels. Apocratis used
to prescribe bee pollen to malnourished people thousands of years ago. Packed full of antioxidants
and today its just gonna add a lovely little, fancy little dressing on the top. So now that's
all left to do is to taste these fantastic smoothies. Cheers! Lovely creamy texture from
the avocado you're getting that nice kind of spinach lime cutting through but the sweetness
and apply juice overrides it. I think its one of the nicest things i've ever tasted.
It's that good. OK so guys make sure and try this at it home its super tasty healthy and
wholesome. And if you like this you'll love the Ultimate Green Juice click here or else
