Taste the green this St Patricks weekend

Why not celebrate St. Patricks day by consuming something nice and healthy, instead of green Guinness!!!

Okay, back to normal colour text, the green gives me a headache ;-)

 To make this a little easier for you, here are a couple of green recipes for you to try, one soup and one smoothie. Enjoy.

Green soup with Broccoli, Spinach and Ginger.

This easy soup can be thin or thick, depending upon the amount of water you add. Best of all, it cooks quickly.

 Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cups fresh broccoli, cut up

How to make a diy sports drink

There are so many sports drinks on the market, it can be difficult to figure out which one to take. If you've ever read the ingredients list, a lot of it sounds quite scary. The good news is you can make a basic sports drink very easily at home. Take a fruit juice that you like, (preferably fresh, not from concentrate; even better, juice your own fruit) and mix it half and half with water, add a tiny pinch of salt, and shake like hell.

I like to use cloudy apple juice, or if i have a few minutes to spare i'll juice a couple of oranges. Choose whatever fruits you like, or make a cocktail of different fruit juices to use.
Whats your favourite fruit to use?
