SO easy and quick - a perfect pick me up that is infinitely adaptable! Contains no juice or other free sugars and is vegan as well.

Course: Breakfast, Drink
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (250g) whatever greens you have on hand (spinach, lamb's lettuce, chard, kale...)
  • 1 cup (250ml) liquid (water, coconut water, milk, coconut milk...)
  • 1/2 banana (or keep the fruit to a minimum and swap for 1/2 an avocado for a not-so-sweet but extra creamy smoothie)
  • 1 frozen chopped kiwi (or use a handful of frozen berries or other frozen fruit)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or nut butter, optional, but it adds some good fat to help absorb the nutrients from the greens and fruit, so I think it's well worth it!
  • extra additions, optional (we sometimes add a tsp of chia seeds, a few pinches of ground flaxseed and/or 2 tbsp of oats, but feel free to chuck in whatever nutritious extra you want!)
Instructions

  1. Blend the greens and liquid until smooth, then add in the rest of the ingredients with it. Serve immediately.

  2. Repeat with variations the next time to find your favourite blend!
