RECIPES: SUMMER 2017

go can be smooth sailing, writes The Healthy Chef, Teresa Cutter.
A
s the weather warms up, I’m really enjoying these refreshing and delicious meal replacement smoothies designed to help you
get lean, toned and looking fabulous. The addition of protein will aid in workout recovery, support your immune system and
keep you satiated.
Matcha coconut
Matcha has metabolism boosting thermogenic effects in the body, meaning that it gently
supports weight loss. Coconut water is a natural isotonic drink that’s rich in the electrolytes
calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium, which are all vital for the proper
functioning of the nervous system. Protein is the key nutrient for ageless, beautiful skin.
Your skin, hair, and nails are made up of protein, so it’s important to include enough of
it in your diet. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, an essential mineral for
maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function.
