    Numerous Antioxidant Phenolic Acids, Especially Hydroxycinnamic Acids.

 Green Smoothie ( Day 01 )

Day 01

Frozen Banana

Frozen Strawberry

Bok Choy ( Chinese Cabbage )

Soy Milk

Brown Flaxseed Meal

Dried Goji Berry ( Wolf Berry )

Garnish :

Goji Berry

How to :

Blend all ingredients until well combined.

Ready to Drink and Enjoy.

FYI : 

This smoothie taste more creamier, because i use both banana and strawberry as frozen fruits. And it is sweetened from Soy Milk, that bought from Traditional Market (Pasar), not an Instant Soy Milk that come in a paper box (bottle). This Soy Milk are so rich and enhance the flavour of this smoothie. Bok Choy also give some natural sweet flavour as it is.  You may also substitute Frozen Strawberry with Frozen Blueberries or Frozen Mixed Berries, that you can find easily on supermarket (frozen food section).

Green Smoothie ( Day 03 )

 Green Smoothie ( Day 03 )

Day 03

Ingredients :

Frozen Banana

Frozen Pineapple

Bok Choy ( Chinese Cabbage )

Flaxseed Meal

Chia Seed

Coconut Water

Almond Meal (the pulp from Almond Milk)

Garnish :

Dried Chinese Goji Berry ( Wolf Berry )

How to :

Blend all the ingredients until well mixed.

Garnish with Chia Seed and Goji Berry.

FYI : 

The colour is more brighter compare to the smoothie on the first and second day, 

because i add Almond Meal into the smoothie. You can replace Almond with other Raw Nuts like Walnut, Pecan, Cashew, Hazelnut, etc. My personal opinion about Pine Nuts, is not really match for smoothie, while the size is small and its better for salad or Pesto Sauce. But you can still give it a try, actually Pine Nuts is taste sweeter than Walnut.
