Who better than Malaika Arora to affirm that having a great physique and strict workout routine is a commitment like no other! Although she has been known to enjoy delicious Indian food that is indulgent, the reality show judge is loyal to her lifestyle – including her diet, which includes consuming healthy potions loaded with green vegetables. Sharing a photograph of what appeared to be a green smoothie on social media over the weekend, Malaika captioned it saying, “Not without my greens.” Whether it was in preparation for a Sunday full of cheat meals or her trying to eat clean after some indulgence, Malla’s vibrant glass of greens is truly a goal for fitness enthusiasts.
Start your day with five delicious yet healthy green drinks:
Matcha Latte
Whether you prefer your cup of Japanese green tea hot or iced, matcha’s detoxifying properties are an excellent way to feel refreshed and energised. Swap your whole milk with plant-based alternatives for a vegan option and replace sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
Avocado Smoothie
Loaded with good fats and other nutrients, avocado forms the perfect creamy base for a delicious smoothie that can be made with a variety of seasonal fruits and leafy greens. Combine mangoes, spinach, pineapple chunks, bananas or even some berries to make an amazing energiser that will keep you going for long.

Green Lemonade
A refreshing beverage made by combining lemon juice with green vegetables and herbs, for extra flavour, the green lemonade is often seen as a healthy choice due to the high vitamin content from the ingredients. Said to be a great way to get extra nutrients in a tasty and hydrating form, some variations include sweeteners like honey or agave syrup to balance out the tartness of the lemon and the bitterness of the greens.
Wheatgrass Shot
If you’re feeling adventurous, start your day with a shot of wheatgrass juice which is packed with vitamins and minerals for a natural energy boost. Consuming just this small portion of the juice provides concentrated doses of vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as minerals like iron, calcium and amino acids to support overall health and well-being as well as boost immunity.
Green Juice
Juice together cucumber, celery, kale, apples, lemon juice and ginger for a hydrating and revitalizing potion that is excellent for digestion due to its high fibre content. Adjust the ingredients to your taste preferences and make sure to add a teaspoon of matcha for that extra touch of wellness.
