Smoothie Time (but not for Bally)

If you or anyone you know has an aversion to smoothies, then this mouth-watering recipe is guaranteed to blow them away. I think it's amazing, and I got it from my former neighbor in Toronto, world-famous nutritionist and health guru, Yuri Elkaim. We used to live in the same condo building right beside an amazing dog park in Toronto, but Yuri and his wife had little Chihauhaus that didn't go to well with ol' Bally the Dog :).
 
Now to be quite honest...This smoothie is easily the BEST green smoothie I've ever tasted. Even ol' Bally would slurp it right up, if he were allowed - which he is not! But that does not stop him from asking.
 
It really is delicious. Here's the recipe for you to see for yourself... 
 
Tangy Coco Spinach
 
2 big handfuls of spinach 
1 banana 
1⁄2 cup strawberries 
1-2 stalks celery 
Juice of 1-inch piece of ginger 
Juice of 1⁄2 lime 
1 young coconut (water and meat) 
250 ml water
 
Directions: 
Add ingredients to blender, blend, and enjoy.
 
Since trying it for the first time not too longago, it's helped me convert the most skeptical and smoothie-averse people, which now means they can enjoy better health and more energy :)
 
And you will too!

PS - Combine this with fat loss accelerator workouts...
 
...and you'll lose a lot of weight and gain a TON of energy in just a few short days. It's all about the complete program. 
 
But honestly, even without the workouts you'll get amazing results with this type of smoothie every day. It's the perfect solution - fast, easy, and tasty.
 
 
PPS - Many people ask...
 
...these common questions, so Yuri answered them for you.

If you have an aversion to something you stay away from it. You were likely thinking of "affinity" which means that you have a particular liking for something.

Funny that I found this post in my email while I was looking online for some smoothie recipes. I really don't care for smoothies either, but, will try this one.
Thanks for sharing
