green soul smoothie

Smoothies are great pick me ups. They’re easily absorbed by the body, delivering goodness almost directly to the cells, and can be a meal or a snack. Fill them with nutritious happiness and your body will be singing.

Ingredients – serves 1

½ a cucumber

½ a cup of fruit of low fructose fruit – kiwifruit, frozen blueberries, and/or papaya/paw paw.

2 heaped handfuls of spinach (I would advise sautéing this in a little coconut oil before blending to remove oxalates allowing for better digestion and therefore gut health)

Handful of basil

¼ of avocado or a dessert spoon of coconut oil

1 dessert spoon of hemp seeds

1 dessert spoon of natural nut butter

½ a tsp of cinnamon

½ a tsp of vanilla powder

1-2 cups of coconut water

Steps

Put all ingredients in a blender, combine well and serve with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, cacao nibs, bee pollen and dried mulberries.
