In continuation with the hot discussion on the current love of fitness and health industry, smoothies, we present to you a green smoothie this week.
Even if there is no sign of winters yet, winter veggies have already started popping their heads at vegetable markets. Make the best use of a bunch of spinach apart from its regular use in a sabzi, and whip up a spinach smoothie instead. This week's superfood in the smoothie is raw coconut.
Green Spinach Smoothie
¾ cup plain low fat hung curd
2 cups chopped raw spinach leaves
1 ripe pear, chopped 15 green or red grapes
2 tablespoons grated fresh coconut
Juice of 1 small lemon
Superfood: Raw Coconut
Raw coconut is rich in medium chain triglycerides. Although this is a type of fat, it can possibly aid in weight loss. This is because of how raw coconut is digested by our bodies. As we digest the fatty acids in raw coconut, our bodies immediately use the substances released for energy rather than storing as fat. Besides, these help in suppressing hunger much more effectively than other types of fat.
