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
- Cut all of the fruit in half to make it easier to juice.
- 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. - Add the liquid, frozen pineapple, hemp seeds and spirulina into a blender.
- 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!
