Brain Food

We have been working on growing our brains at school this year. We have fed them with rest, knowledge, exercise and now with food. We've tried 2 different recipes so far for brain smoothies. Here they are if you want to try them at home:

Lean and Green

2 slices of melon (we used the green one)
handful of fresh mint
1/2 bag of spinach
1/2 a mango
4 oz apple juice
2 tbsp plain yogurt
icecubes

Put the spinach and apple juice in a blender, blend until it is reduced. Add everything else and blend together.

Note: freeze the melon ahead of time and eliminate the ice if you wish, the recipe also called for 1/4 of a cucumber but I haven't added it as I'm not a big fan of the cucumber.

Pre-Game Boost
4-5 frozen strawberries
handful of raspberries
1 banana
4 oz orange juice
2 tbsp yogurt

Put it all in a blender until smooth.

Note: Someone recommended adding a bit of honey if this is a little on the sour side. We will try this version to see if we like it better.
