Get Smoothie-licious

As a teacher who leaves home before sunrise, to get to her first class 5 mornings a week, needless to say, I have absolutely no time for breakfast as my tummy would still be in Savasana mode.


Coming home at 10am'ish means my tummy is still fired up from all that mula and uddyana work after teaching 2 sweaty classes, and I'm usually famished, but it also falls into that in-between time zone, where it's a tad too late for a hearty breakfast and too early for a proper lunch.


To balance my hunger pangs til lunch beckons, and to power me up with the right vitamins, I raided my veggie and fruit rack in the fridge and got creative with my blender.


Here are 3 of my favourite Yogi-On-The-Go smoothies :
Enter The Dragon Smoothie

1 cup of red dragon fruit (peeled and cut into small pieces)
1 small banana (peeled and sliced)

4 big strawberries, or berries of your choice (washed and sliced)

Mango Mania Smoothie
If mangoes are in season, have a go at this yummy treat.

Rock icon, Mick Jagger turned 68 a few weeks ago, and attributed yoga and smoothies as part of his wellness regime.

So if you're always on the go, maybe it's time to get smooth like Jagger, eh?
Happy blending.
