A perfect one for all you raw foodies out there, or if you just fancy a seasonally apt green Grinch smoothie to start your day right. I promise no Grinches were harmed in the making.
This smoothie may be green but it's also sweet, perfect for kids or if your trying to add more greens to your diet but your not quite used to the taste - I know drinking greens is usually something you have to gradually ween yourself on to and the best way to do that is by adding a few fruits to sweeten the mix.
Look at that colour!
Ingredients (Makes 1 cup):
- 1 large ripe banana
- 2 cups of spinach
- 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 tsp vanilla
- 4 dates pitted and chopped
- Ice to taste (depending on how cold/solid you like it)
- Dried fruit to top
Instructions:
Mix everything in a blender until it becomes a smooth puree. You shouldn't be able to see any spinach or dates whirling around!
I found I was still hungry after just one cup so you could always double or even triple the ingredients depending on how much you want to make. Alternatively, pour the smoothie into a bowl (big wooden bowls are ideal) and add your own fruit, chia seeds, flax and protein powder on top, for a superfood smoothie that's nutritionally dense.
