MEG GILLMER MEG GILLMER’S GREEN SMOOTHIE The Wholesome Athlete Meg Gillmer shares her recipe for a nutritious green smoothie. This green smoothie recipe is a great way to get lots of nutrients into your body. Good fats from the avocado and nut butter, carbohydrates and sweetness from the banana and all the goodness of greens. Sometimes I add some protein powder in for a complete meal – vanilla works best! What you’ll need: 1 cup milk (e.g. almond, soy, rice) ½ cup water or coconut water 1 peeled and frozen banana Flesh of half avocado Fresh mint leaves Handful baby spinach leaves 2 tablespoons nut butter Handful of ice How to make it: 1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. 18 JUNE 2015 ( OH! MAGAZINE ) www.thewholesomeathlete.com ( OH YUM )
