How to make the apple celery kiwi kale gereen smoothie
Stuff in the kale vegetable into the Nutribullet jar. You may be able to add all of the 120 g of the kale in at once but add as much as the jar can take in the first instance.
Add milk and blitz it. The idea is to reduce the kale.
Pause the Nutribullet and add the 2nd batch of the remaining Kale. Blitz again and pause it.
Now slice in your apples, celery and kiwi. Blitz again for 40 seconds.
You may need to add the apple, celery and kiwi, one at a time to achieve reduction with each blitz.
Now add the flaxseeds and the natural yogurt (low fat) and blitz for another 40 seconds
That’s it. Your apple celery kiwi kale green smoothie is ready.

What do you do on a Monday afternoon when you are off-duty and you’ve got time to kill? Watch episodes of ‘The Real Housewives of New York’? Maybe.
But the bitchfest does get to you and the conversation is far from intellectually stimulating.
So with your mind bored stiff and the hunger pangs begin to call, what do you do next? Pick up a fictional book to while away time?
Hmmm, Nope.
I would rustle up a quick Banana Apple Cherry Tomatoes Smoothie. That’s what I would do and you should too.
The banana apple cherry tomoato smoothie is easy to make and you can kick-start a dull day having this smoothie. The only condition necessary for this smoothie is that you have to like the taste of cherry tomatoes. Because the banana apple cherry tomatoes smoothie has a distinctly cherry tomato flavour.
You can’t miss it. Some will say, the cherry tomato taste is over-powering.
But tomatoes are good for you. Tomatoes are a natural source of Vitamin C. The Vitamin C from the tomatoes promotes healthy teeth, gums, bones, blood vessels and even your skin. Vitamin C from the tomatoes also facilitates absorption of Iron when you eat foods with good iron supply like spinach.

Testing myself 1 hour after drinking Banana Apple Cherry Toamatoes smoothie, I got a blood sugar reading of 4.2 mmol/l (75.6 mg/dl). Quite healthy range of blood glucose. The flaxseeds helps drive the blood glucose into your body cells for energy use preventing any blood sugar spikes.
