Crafting the perfect green smoothie at home isn’t as simple as tossing a few greens and fruits into a blender. Trust me, I’ve tried—and failed—countless times. The key lies in nailing the balance of leafy greens to fruit. Too much of one, and you’ll end up with something bitter, overly sweet, or an unpalatable texture. That’s where Suka Espresso in Bali shines. They’ve mastered this art with their “Green Machine” smoothie, delivering a blend that’s both delicious and energizing. They were also kind enough to give us their secret recipe. (Disclaimer) I’m not a nutritionist, so please don’t take my word as gospel, but this juice not only tasted delicious but was totally energizing.
Without even trying Marco and both lost weight in two weeks of landing in Bali we drank this blend almost everyday for lunch, we had a big breakfast of fresh fruit and eggs, lunch a green machine and dinner was noodles or nasa goring. We tried to avoid drinking alcohol, but obviously with two kids sometimes our need for alcohol outweighed our need to loose weight. We have both lost a few kilos.
Now the cynical people out there might just blame are weight loss on the fact we have two lively toddlers to care for 24/7. In all honesty this could be case as well!
So if you would like to know the the two kids weight loss program it so simple! All you need to do is go out and have two babies really close together in age and then start traveling the world together whilst trying to run two travel blogs and co-parenting at the same time. Bingo you’ll be shedding three kilos a week, for sure.
On a practical note, the smoothie was also a hit with our daughters. As parents, it’s a relief when something both healthy and packed with nutrients becomes a kid-approved favorite. If you’re traveling in Bali, you can’t miss trying it. And if you’re planning your trip, check out our guide to the 7 beaches in Bali for more inspiration.
