Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 handful almonds or cashews ideally soaked overnight
  • 1 stick celery
  • 1 banana peeled and maybe frozen
  • 1/2 dessert apple (optional)
  • juice from 1 lime or 1/2 lemon
  • 1 handful blueberries frozen
  • 2 handfuls freshly washed spinach organic if possible
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1 tbsp protein powder such as pea protein
  • 1 tbsp wheatgrass or supergreen powder blend (optional)
  • 600 ml water (about 2.5 cups) or as you prefer

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend!
  • Keep left-over smoothie in the fridge a glass jar with a lid for up to 24 hours.
  • For a more 'green' smoothie replace the blueberries with 1/2 avocado and a thumbnail slice of fresh, peeled ginger
  • For a more exotic, fruity smoothie, replace the celery, apple, blueberries, spinach and super green powder with frozen pineapple/mango and add coconut water or coconut milk.
  • Finally, for a chocolatey smoothie, replace the celery, apple and blueberries with 2 heaped tbsp of cacao powder and 1/2 avocado and a handful of frozen cherries. Top with 1/2 tablespoon of raw cacao nibs for an extra antioxidant boost!
