Super Green Smoothie
By Karen McLean on
I give 110% into everything I do, whether it’s work, cooking, health, fitness, friends and family. I love to make the most of each and every day because we only get one chance! In order to give my best, I have to keep myself energized and ready for what lies in my day ahead. A typical morning for me includes going for a run around Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the WORLD!!) and then drinking a super green smoothie before going to work. I love going for a run in the mornings as it gives me that much needed extra energy boost for the day!
I always look forward to drinking my super green smoothie as it keeps me happy, both on the inside and out! Even the thought of green smoothies, makes me feel good. Start off with one handful of spinach, and as you get used to drinking green smoothies, keep adding a handful of spinach each day. I’m surprised I haven’t turned into a GREEN MONSTER!!
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1-3 handfuls of spinach
- ½ small ripe avocado
- ½ cup milk of choice (soy milk, almond milk, rice milk etc.)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Directions:
- Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend for a few minutes until smooth.
- Enjoy your super greens!

Mocktails for Go Sober
By Go Sober Team on
Giving up the booze doesn’t have to be boring – we’re not talking about sipping kale juice smoothies here. Think of it less of an exercise in detoxing and more of an opportunity to experiment with great flavour combination – without the unpleasantness of the morning after.
‘Mocktails’ have always been somewhat of the cocktail's frumpy sister, but whereas the cocktail can easily hide behind a boozy kick, with non-alcoholic concoctions flavour is king. Not only are they a healthier alternative to their alcoholic siblings, but they’re just as much a treat for the weekend.
We’ve cherry picked a selection of tasty recipes below, lovingly created by Georgi Radev – resident mixologist of one of London’s finest cocktail bars, Mahiki.
