The Sunday post : The Green Smoothies

I know, I have skipped out on yet another lifestyle snippet post but it’s okay because I have something else up my sleeve for you peeps. A little while back, I featured the makings of this smoothie in a Sunday post and as I like to deliver on some of my promises, here is how it all went down with a smoothie maker.

I am not one of those regular smoothie/juice makers but sometimes your body gets a craving for it. I know that they aren’t the best for you in terms of having all that sugar in one serving, despite the fact that it is all natural sugars, which in fact brings a tear to my eye. But every once in a while never did anyone any harm.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1 green apple

¼ of a cucumber

Handful of spinach

Some ice

Apple juice – this is just a sweetener for me but take it out to be even healthier

(Obviously add more of what you like, take out what you don’t and pretty much just make it your own. Whatever floats your smoothie making boat)

In case you really have no experience with smoothie making, I just popped it all into the smoothie maker I have, blended it, then hit the smooth setting and tah dah, your very own green-licious smoothie.

This lasted me around 2 days but because it is fresh, I recommend making enough for one or two servings for the day.

I hope you enjoyed this little recipe as a replacement for my typical Sunday posts - it is still lifestyle orientated right?

just me or does this look hella insta worthy?

Have a great week and see you all soon with a new post and potentially a new video. Oooh.

Is your food Instagram worthy? | Holy Chic

Food. Idealised and cherished. Something we all need to eat to survive. Something that people love. Something where all the good stuff is bad for you and all the bad stuff is good for you. Something that there are lots of different recopies to create the ever so desired food. But when you put the word instagram in front of the word food, Google is bound to give you very different results.

There seems to be something about making your food more instagram worthy. From recipes on YouTube to the food dedicated instagram accounts. There seems to be something so tasty and nice looking about healthy food on Instagram with immaculate presentation.

If you think about it, putting up a picture of your McDonalds is not as appealing as some of the pictures of like a water melon fruit bowl. (I must admit, sometimes a picture of a whole pizza makes my mouth water) but sometimes, I crave the healthy stuff. Like avocado with egg and black pepper on a slice of toast or a salad with feta cheese and tomatoes. Just look at it. Sometimes it’s even juices that look more appealing than a can of coke.

So is social media giving society a test, or moulding the types of food we upload to instagram or any social media site for that matter? Are you guilty of uploading your food because it was instagrammable? Or is it only healthy food that makes the instagram worthy list?

I wanna know your thoughts below
