Green Smoothie

Green Smoothie is wonderful and nutritious for the mornings and you can make it from ingredients you keep in your freezer.

Serves 1

Ingredients:

1/2 apple

1 banana

A handful of spinach or kale

1/2 cup of Almond Milk

Method:

Peel the banana.

Rinse the kale/spinach and apple. Peel the apple if you prefer.

Core apple and cut into chunks.

Cut the banana also into chunks.

Add all the ingredients to the blender with the almond milk and mix till you reach a smooth consistency that you like.

Additional Notes:

I find this sweet enough as it is but if you require it to be sweeter then add a bit of honey.

Not a fan of almond milk? Add water or coconut water.

Freezing Notes:

If you want to save some time or incorporate this into your meal planning, then pre-pack your smoothies for the week in individual freezer bags. Prepare them at the weekend and pack and label the ingredients into a freezer bag for each morning of the week. Label if necessary. Simply take the bag out of the freezer and add coconut water from the fridge before blending ready for a terrific morning ahead.

Equipment Used:

Knife

Chopping board

Blender

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
