Give the Christmas gift of health with seed super greens

We all know that one person who leaps out of bed every morning, works out like a demon then whips up a healthy, detoxifying green smoothie to start their day. Ahh, those people. How we wish we could be more like them!

It's often these friends or family members who are the toughest to buy for at Christmas. But fear not, this year we've found the perfect gift for the early-rising, smoothie-drinking workout-demon in your life: the uber-healthy seed super greens Christmas package, which includes a gorgeous seed super greens variant and matching bamboo shaker. 

seed super greens are the only freeze-dried super green powder available in New Zealand and contain absolutely zero nasty ingredients, as well as being gluten, dairy, soy, corn, nut and egg free. The 100% natural ingredients include turmeric, dandelion, cacao, matcha green tea and Siberian ginseng to name a few, along with a number of other superfoods. Each serving is equivalent to three vegetables, so by simply adding seed super greens to your favourite smoothie, you're instantly boosting your daily vegetable intake without even having to think about it. 

To help keep you or your healthiest friend on top of your well-being goals this summer, how about a monthly seed subscription for Christmas? With 25% off the regular price, each month, there's no excuse not to stay healthy past the festive season!

Need some more inspiration to get this green goodness into your life? We've rounded up our favourite smoothie recipes and thrown in a serving of seed super greens to help you get one step ahead of the game this summer: 

Breakfast Nice Cream
Ice cream for breakfast? Yes, you read it correctly and no, we're not going mad. This dairy-free smoothie bowl is thick enough to substitute real ice cream and healthy enough to eat for breakfast. 

Blend together:
3 x frozen bananas
2 handfuls of frozen mango
1 serving of seed super greens 
Enough liquid so everything blends together. We like to use coconut water for this. Serve in a bowl or jar with a sprinkling of coconut. Enjoy! 

Go Troppo Smoothie 
This smoothie incorporates all of the best summer fruits, in one healthy smoothie. 

Blend together:
2 handfuls of a blend of your favourite frozen tropical fruit e.g. mango, strawberries, pineapple, papaya
2 bananas
1 handful of kale or spinach 
1 serving of seed super greens
Juice of one lemon
Coconut water 
Blend until smooth. Enjoy! 

Green Sunshine Smoothie 
This looks like your standard green smoothie but the secret ingredient gives it a kick sure to wake up any sleepy head. 

Blend together:
1 cup water 
2 handfuls of spinach or kale 
1 orange 
1 ripe banana 
1" of fresh ginger 
1 serving of seed super greens 
Blend all ingredients together until smooth. For more of a kick, simply add more ginger. 

Purifying Smoothie 
This simple yet delicious smoothie is best served over ice and makes a great post-workout refreshment. 

Blend together: 
2 handfuls of kale or spinach
1 large banana 
1 small cucumber (or half of a large cucumber)
1 serving of seed super greens
Coconut water 
Blend everything together and pour over ice to feel instantly refreshed and purified. 

The Other Green Smoothie 
Most green smoothies are made with a heap of spinach, kale or avocado. Not this one....

Blend together: 
1/2 a honeydew melon cut into pieces
1/2 cup coconut milk (almond or rice milk would also work) 
1 - 2 fresh mint leaves
1 serving of seed super greens 
The juice of one small lime 
A drizzle of honey if melon is not super sweet (agave, maple syrup or coconut nectar would also work)
1 cup of ice 
Blend everything together - ice can be hard on your blender so add it gradually if need be. Enjoy! 

The seed super greens Christmas package is $89 (normally retails for $120) and is available at good health stores, or online at seedsupergreens.co.nz
