Green Smoothie Recipe = Fun Food!


You need a blender, or a hand held mixer (blender = best)Add Image
Serves 2 - 4 people :

Roughly chopped:

* 2 serve fruit - Use your imagination. A mixture of tart, and sweet works well i.e a granny smith apple and a mango, or a few slices pineapple, and a banana.
* 2 serve veg - Choose less fibrous veg. A handful of spinach, mange tout, tender stem(young) broccoli, a carrot, or cucumber work well. Stay away from high fibre veg such as celery, mature broccoli, and sugar snaps. Beetroot just doesn't taste right.

* 1 Tbspn peanut butter, or handful nuts/ seeds of your choice (not flax, unless already ground up)
* add fruit juice till the correct thick smooth drinkable texture is achieved

Other:

- frozen fruit makes it a cold smoothie
- avocado, bnnana, yoghurt, and coconut cream make it extra smooth.
- cocoa and carob make it chocolatey
- berries give it a pretty red colour
- powdered spirulina gives it a crazy green colour and a nutritional boost
- raw oats makes it extra filling

Throw all your chosen ingredients into the blender, and blend until smooth.

Voila! - The end result all depends on how adventurous you got. It can sometimes be a funny colour and have a strange texture, but mostly it tastes AWESOME!
