One of our models at work.
It’s that time of year again, the daffodils are starting to bloom, the days are getting longer and the sun is finally starting to peak through those dark Melbourne clouds. It’s also that time of year when you start wishing you hadn’t had that third helping of pudding…. Here at The Hen and the Coq Events we are getting ready for the silly season and that includes our models! They are hitting the gym and getting ready to show off their fine physiques! One part of that is healthy eating and one of their go to drinks is the Green Smoothie!
I don’t know about you but I love Green Smoothies, they give you so much energy, help shift stubborn kilos and make your skin glow from the inside out.
Green smoothies are a great way to wake up, you actually feel virtuous downing one.
This avocado smoothie is no exception!
This recipe has all the nutrients from its ingredients that you need to get going in the morning: protein, healthy fats, and replenishing electrolytes. The superstar ingredient is avocado. Avocados boast a lovely dose of omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are vital for brain development and nerve function and have Vitamin K which is like the love drug of skin.
