Recipes of Green Smoothies for Weight Loss : Sunflower Spinach

  

Ingredient List:

• 1 1/2 oz. of baby spinach
• 1 banana - peeled
• 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of ice

Directions:

When ready, simply process all the ingredients together in your favorite blender. You can shake it up or stir it up, then serve and enjoy. Cube or chop vegetables to make them blitz easier before blending. I like to add any leafy vegetables in last, and then add a touch more water if I want the consistency smoother or silkier. Great garnishes include: lemon, celery, chia seeds, or a slice of tomato. Add ice on a hot day to make the drink cooler.
