My dear foodies,
As you know, I discovered a few months ago that I was intolerant to gluten and lactose. But I am an unconditional fan of pastry, desserts and other sweets! Hmmmmm... What to do ???
No question of depriving myself! So I try to modify and adapt all my recipes! It's not always easy, but every day I learn new ways to make my dishes tastier.
For smoothies, it's easier because I only have to replace the milk with water or vegetal milk. In addition, I add powdered vegan protein to have all the nutritional benefits that my body needs.
With this recipe, I will prove to you that it is possible to have food intolerances and to eat healthy and tasty things! I want to share with you my gastronomic discoveries and recipes compatible with a "special diet" or simply with a "normal diet" (amazing, no ?!). Even if you are not intolerant, taking care of your body and your diet is necessary to make you feel good my friends ... š.
Today, my star ingredient is the KALE!
Why?
Because this food is one of the nutrient richest foods on the planet !!! This food of the cabbage family is composed of all kinds of elements stuffed with benefits for our health. Here are the 5 super advantages of the Kale.
5 Health Benefits of Kale
-Protect the immune system
-Prevents Cancer
-High in Calcium (150mg per 100g)
-High in Antioxidants
-High in Minerals and Vitamins

To follow my diet I use an application called "Cronometer"
It's a smart app to count calories and track your diet and health settings in a fun way.
You can see, with the picture below, that with this smoothie + 2 gr of chlorella and spirulina, I cover 63% of my daily targets (vitamins, minerals, omega 3 ...)!
For more information, here is the link to the Cronometer app's website.
My Superfoods Green Smoothie!
(for 4 people)
ā” 1 peach
ā” 1 apple
ā” 4 bananas
ā” 2 cups kale
ā” 2 cups spinach
ā” 6 dates
ā” 1/2 cup almonds
ā” 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
ā” 2 cups of water (or vegetal milk)
Optional:
ā” 1/3 seed mixture
(chia, flaxseed, sunflower, squash, sesame)
Preparation
Step 1: Wash all the fruits well! Very important to remove all pesticides and chemicals ...
Step 2: Cut the fruit into pieces (the size depends on the power of your blender). Mine is powerful, it even cuts chia seeds, so I can put large pieces of fruit.
Step 3: Put fruits, greens, seeds and water or vegetable milk in the blender. Mix until you get a perfect smoothie. The texture depends on your preferences (more or less liquid according to taste).
Step 4: Pour into a smoothie drink and enjoy!
You can also add ice cubes for a cool smoothie. And fresh fruits at the top.
I let you try this recipe and tell me what you think! ;)
