Energising Green Smoothie

Serves: 1

Prep time: 10 minutes

Shelf life: 1 day

 

Ingredients

2x large oranges

½ grapefruit

½ lime

½ lemon

Large handful of frozen pineapple

Large handful of baby spinach

1 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tsp spirulina
 

Method

1. Cut all of the fruit in half to make it easier to juice.
2. Using a juicer, extract the liquid from all of the juice.
   If you don’t have a juicer, use a blender; you can strain the drink through a fine mesh sieve (or even a clean tea towel!) if you want less fibre.
3. Add the liquid, frozen pineapple, hemp seeds and spirulina into a blender.
4. Blend until smooth*.

 
*Sometimes frozen fruit can make the mixture turn quite slushy, so if this happens just add a little bit of water or plant-based milk to break it up!
