Inspiration from Morocco
Step 1
Rinse the fresh spinach and fresh mint.
Cut one half of an organic fresh lemon and 2 dates into smaller pieces. If you do not have an organic lemon on hand just squeeze out the lemon juice into your blender.
Step 2
Add all ingredients including 300 ml of water into your blender and blend it for 1 min. Best results are achieved with a high power blender in order get the smoothest texture out of the mint and spinach.
Enjoy!
* Nutrition details:
Glycemic load (GL): Indicates how much glucose your meal contains and how this will affect the insulin reaction in your body. You can use a total consumption value of 100g GL per day as orientation. Meaning, if you have 3 meals per day, try to stay below the 33g GL per meal to avoid overconsumption of natural sugar. For example one average banana peeled (100g) comes with a GL of 16. One small portion of white rice (40g uncooked) has a GL of 22.
Protein / 100 kcal: In order to have a filling meal and to ensure to achieve the recommended minimum protein intake of 0.8g protein / kg body weight per day a ration of more than 3g protein / 100 kcal is a good orientation for this indicator for each meal.
Vitamins and minerals: Percentages represent the percentage of recommended daily intake (based on FDA’s Daily Value). Mentioned vitamins and minerals have a particular high nutritional density in this dish. Means, if you would only eat this dish for one day, you would easily exceed the 100% of recommended daily intake for the mentioned mineral or vitamin. Please take into account that these values are just for orientation and might vary depending on your individual situation e.g. if you are a professional athlete, pregnant etc.
