New easy smoothies for your slimming plan

Here is an easy recipe for a healthy yet nutritious smoothie. This resembles to me "Gazpacho", a kind of delicious smoothie or "cold soup" people often have in the hottest regions of Mediterranean Spain. Give this a try, it yummy, easy to prepare and hearty.

Blend together in a blender:

6 oz. carrot juice (fresh, bottled from grocery store, or home juiced)

1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 stalk celery, cut in pieces

1/2 small, raw apple, cut in pieces

2 1-oz scoops of micro-filtered whey powder

1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

You can complete the meal with this side dish:

2 sesame seed crackers spread with 1 tsp. peanut, almond, or cashew butter


Enjoy. It is a great idea to try different variations to this recipe. For example, you can make it more "salty" by replacing apple with cucumber and a small tomato. You'll see how easy it is to come up with a large variety to include in your conscious slimming plan.
