Hey guys it's Warren here and today I'm going to be showing you two smoothie recipes to
make you feel awesome.
Firstly my strawberry and banana smoothie followed by my super healthy green smoothie.
Lets go!
OK, so the ingredients for my strawberry and banana smoothie is enough to make one glass.
Firstly, to a food blender, add 100g of washed strawberries, as well as a handful of washed
mint.
Then take one banana, slice it up into chunks and add to the blender, followed by 100g of
low fat greek yogurt.
Next, add one teaspoon of runny honey along with a handful of ice cubes.
Now simply place the lid on the blender jug and blitz until nice and smooth.
If you find the smoothie's too thick, simply add a drop of water to thin it out.
Then simply serve your smoothie straight away and enjoy, or store in a sealed container
in the fridge to enjoy later.
And this is a seriously refreshing smoothie recipe which is perfect to enjoy in the Summer.
OK guys, before we move on to our next smoothie recipe I want to talk to you about Wellfarm
juices.
As someone who has recently become a father I do find it a lot more difficult to find
time in the day to do all the things I used to be able to do before.
For example, we're making smoothie recipes today but now I've got a kid to look after,
it can be a lot more difficult to find that time in the day.
Wellfarm make juices that are packed full of nutrients and they come in these convenient
little pouches.
So for someone like me these are perfect because you can drink them on the go especially if
you feel you're not getting all the nutrients in the day you feel you should be getting.
I'm going to be telling you about two of Wellfarm's products - firstly this HEO Juice and also
their 5'Cleanse Juices.
Starting off with the HEOJuice, this is packed full of vegetables that are boiled, crushed
then juiced up.
It has things in like carrots, tomatoes, broccoli and cabbage.
Plus if you have two of these pouches a day you'll be meeting your daily requirement for
vegetables as well.
It's also a great source of vitamin C, calcium, potassium and iron and it's got loads of nutrients
in your body really needs.
If you tend to have an energy drink in the day, this is a great natural alternative which
will help you avoid that afternoon slump, plus it helps boost your immune system as
well.
Because it's made of vegetables, it will help keep you fuller for longer - something I often
struggle with which will also help you improve your eating habits.
I guess the next thing to do is give it a taste test.
Get my trusty straw.
I can't get it in the pouch!
That's actually not too bad!
I say not to bad when you consider all the ingredients in it.
To be honest with you, that just tastes like soup to me.
And it's got a nice sweet flavour too which is probably coming from the carrots.
I'll tell you what, I'll just pour this into a glass as well so you can see the colour
of it as well.
So if you can see there, we've got a nice orange colour.
I only had a few sips there so it shows how much you don't need to meet your vegetable
requirements in the day.
That's actually a great portion size if you are in a hurry and you quickly need to get
those nutrients this has to offer.
That's a great feeling that 10 seconds to drink that and that's half the vegetable intake
you need for the day.
I think this is brilliant if you're the sort of person who's on the go and you need something
quick and you need those nutrients in your diet.
Next is Wellfarm's 5'Cleanse program.
This is a box of juices full of loads of really nutritious ingredients.
The idea is if you want to give your body a rest or a boost of all the good things it's
been lacking then this is a box of 5 pouches which you can see just there and you split
them throughout the day.
We have a purple one full of tasty fruit and vegetables.
A green one which is more kiwis, asparagus, celery and kale.
One with more red fruit and vegetables in like carrots, tomatoes and oranges.
We've got one with lemons, grapefruit and ginger, which would probably be good for digestion.
Finally, one with beetroot, red cabbage and raspberries in.
With the 5'Cleanse program you can either do it in 1 day, so they're split throughout
the day.
Or you can do it over a few days where you'd get three of these boxes and do it over a
3 day period.
You also get this leaflet with the program which explains the benefits of what's in each
of the pouches, plus how you can do it in one day, and the timings.
Or over a 3 day period.
In the days it's suggesting you take a green pouch at 7am, the orange one at 10am, the
purple one at 1pm, the yellow one at 4pm and the red one at 7pm.
Basically, if you feel your body needs a reset or a cleanse then this is the sort of thing
you need.
Again, they're in convenient pouches so you can do it on the go and don't have to worry
about prep.
What's great about these is if you're intaking fruit and vegetables of a variety of colours,
you know you're getting a variety of different nutrients in your diet as well.
They're not from concentrate so they're all perfectly natural and safe to drink.
Let's give these pouches a whirl.
I'm going to drink them in the order the leaflet says.
Starting with this green one.
This is good for chlorophyll and is 90 calories per pack.
It's nice.
Your can really taste the celery coming through in this.
It's a little be sweet as well because it's 54% apple.
That tastes like it would be a really good way to start the morning off if you're having
it at 7am.
Next juice!
Orange.
This is all about beta carotene.
This is also 90 calories and has things likes carrots, orange, water melon, tomato, passion
fruit and apple.
I guess this will taste a bit sweeter and this is recommended at 10am.
That tastes awesome!
It tastes like a really nice juice I used to have as a kid!
It's probably the mix of orange, water melon and apple.
You can also taste the passion fruit.
That's a really nice drink, it's perfect.
A delicious one! 1pm is the purple one.
This looks awesome.
It's full of blueberries, blackcurrants, strawberries and apples.
I expect it to be just as nice as the orange one.
It's good for keeping up with energy levels.
20% blueberry, 8% blackcurrant and 2% chokeberry.
That's awesome as well.
Even after a few sips you can feel your body going 'yes thank you for putting this inside
of me'!
Another great tasting one.
I've just got it everywhere!
It's on the floor as well!
Where are the wipes!
OK, next one, it's 4pm and the recommended pouch is this yellow one.
This is 95 calories and good for flavournoids.
I hope this doesn't falsely set my expectations and it's not full of any flavour whatsoever!
This one's good for feeling refreshed.
Something I often crave - especially after a sleepless night with the little one!
Yeah!
You can really taste the lemon and ginger in that.
If you've got a bit of indigestion, that's going to sort you right out!
You can really taste the bitterness of the grapefruit and not in a horrible way.
It's just a really well balanced flavour.
That's delicious.
It's just nice to have something a bit different that's got a bit of a kick to it.
And that one definitely has.
The 5th and final one - recommended at 7pm is this lovely looking one here which includes
beetroot, tomatoes, cranberries, raspberries, cabbages and apple.
Apples definitely a reoccurring theme.
This one's good for relaxing.
You can definitely taste greens in that probably from the beetroot and cabbage.
It's not as tangy as the other ones.
This feels like it probably doesn't have as many sugars in which you probably wouldn't
want late at night.
Seems like a nice wind down drink to try at 7pm.
Not too tangy, really nice a smooth when you drink it and a nice green kick to it as well.
So that's the 5'Cleanse program.
It's great if you want to give your body a reset, detoxify and it's great because it's
also planned out for you and it tells you which time you need each of the pouches.
They're all really well balanced so you know you're going to get everything you need if
you follow the plan as it says.
Thanks to Wellfarm for supporting this part of the video and allowing me to show you two
of their great juice products.
Now for my next smoothie recipe to help you feel awesome!
This smoothie recipe has both a mix of fruit and green vegetables in.
Firstly add the segments of a small orange, along with 15g of washed baby spinach.
Add 150g of washed green grapes along with 30g of chopped cucumber.
Next, add half a washed apple chopped into chunks then 150ml of coconut water.
Remember you don't always have to use a regular food blender to make your smoothies.
You can also use a personal blender like the one I'm using here.
Simply attach the blade to the cup and blitz on the blender base until nice and smooth.
Once you're happy with the consistency, simply stop blending.
There you have it, a super healthy green smoothie just for 1.
