An excellent green smoothie which acts as an internal cleanser because…

• Aloe vera can assist in soothing and healing the intestinal lining
• Mint alleviates discomfort associated with IBS, stimulates digestion and cleanses the liver
• Chia seeds are not only an excellent source of omega 3 but are full of essential fibre. The combination of the two ensures greater ‘regularity’ and healthy elimination

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 cups filtered water

4 large silverbeet leaves

1 medium to large aloe vera leaf (skin and all)

3 large sprigs of fresh mint (stalks and all)

1 punnet strawberries

2 bananas (ripe or frozen)

2 tablespoons activated sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon noni powder

2 – 3 dates (pips removed)

HOW TO MAKE:

1. Place water in high speed blender jug, then add powders and remainder of the ingredients
2. Blend until smooth and enjoy!
3. Can be shared between two, or keep to yourself and consume throughout the day
4. Keep in mind the chia seeds will expand so you may need to top up with water.
