The one thing that a juice diet lacks is protein, at least in the amounts that our bodies need. Since most of us are not used to having only greens in our juices, the content of protein in it can be a little less. That's why Team Juicy 30 came up with this delicious recipe, which although it is a vegetable juice - it is really a smoothie without the dairy!
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons of Hemp seeds
2 tablespoons of Chia seeds
1 medium Papaya
2 bananas
2 carrots
1 medium head of Cauliflower (very high in Protein and Vitamin A and C).
1 cup of coconut water
Extremely rich in nutrients and very delicious and satisfying smoothie!
Recipe:
- Soak Chia seeds and Hemp Seeds in Coconut water until the water gets a milky consistency and the Chia absorbs the coconut water, puffs up and turns whitish.
- Juice the carrots and cauliflower. Add soaked seeds and coconut water.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender with chopped bananas and papaya.
- Blend until Creamy.
- Chill and Enjoy!
If the consistency comes out too thick, add more coconut water and blend till the consistency is to your liking!
- Also makes for a great, creamy dessert. :-) Replace those ice creams!
