Recipe: Grapefruit, chard, celery, radish, rosemary, flax / chia and lemon smoothie

1. Before we begin, we’re going to put the chosen seeds (chia or flax) in a cup filled with water and cover it. Then, we’ll wait about 2 to 8 hours. This is optional, but it’ll make the smoothie easier to digest.
2. When the above is ready, we can continue with the rest. For this, we must make sure that the food is clean. Especially chard, radishes and celery.
3. Then, we proceed to peel the grapefruit and carefully remove its seeds. Also, we’ll cut the ends of the radishes, remove the stem from the chard and squeeze the lemon.
4. When the ingredients are ready, we need to put them in the blender and process everything until we get a good consistency to drink.
5. Finally, serve and enjoy this wonderful drink.

To take into account: Remember that if you want the smoothie to be more liquid, you can add some extra water and blend again.
