Green Monster Smoothie
By theboycancook, The Boy Can Cook
Green monster smoothies are becoming more and more popular, and I absolutely love them! Putting greens into a fruit...
- 1. Liquid (100-150ml) - you can use water, your favourite fruit juice, or milk. If you have a lactose intolerance or are just feeling particularly healthy, then almond milk, rice milk and soya milk are all great alternatives.
- 2. Fruit (good handful) - Whenever I have fruit that's so ripe it's starting to discolour, I get it in the freezer before it has a chance to go bad. Got any bananas that are starting to brown? Peel 'em, chop 'em, bag 'em, freeze 'em. Then when you fancy a smoothie, the fruit is there, frozen and ready to go. Use any fruit you like, and play around with different combinations and colours.
- 3. Healthy fats (a good, heaped teaspoon) - You need good fats in your diet and a smoothie is an awesome way of getting them. You can use peanut butter, almond butter, your favourite mixed nuts and seeds, coconut oil or even olive oil!
- 4. Something sweet (teaspoon) - Honey or a couple of pitted dates works perfectly. Add spices too! For example, a pinch of cinnamon works a treat with a banana smoothie.
- 5. Greens (a handful) - This is the clever bit. You can put a handful of leaves such as spinach (my preference) or kale, which are both incredibly good for you, and the sweetness and flavour from the fruit mean that you don't even taste the greens!
- 6. Ice (a few cubes) - Put these on top of the greens and they will weigh down the ingredients pushing them towards the bottom of the blender.
