Mr NS Nutrition was not convinced – ‘this is er, interesting, and don’t throw out the juicer just yet’ was the general consensus after my first (failed) attempt.

I didn’t see how I could go wrong with a classic carrot, apple and ginger combo.  But oh how I did.  The combination was a watery, pulpy mess (note to self – much less water and a lot more blitzing required).

Things have thankfully moved on since then, and this green smoothie is a bit of a winner.

Tropical pineapple and mint gives this a wonderfully light and summery flavour as well as Vitamin C and the spinach adds a whole lot of iron!

Ingredients:

• 2 handfuls spinach
• 1 slice of pineapple
• 1/2 frozen banana (I chop up bananas and put them in freezer bags – they make the smoothies so cold and creamy!)
• 2 sticks of celery
• handful of mint
• 1 inch piece of ginger
• Squeeze of lime
• 5 brazil nuts
• 1 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 1 tablespoons chia seeds
• Coconut water (about 1/4 way) – side note, filling up the ‘liquid’ component to the max line has never worked for me, it makes it too watery and you lose a lot of the flavour.  These days I put in enough for about 1/4 of the way up.

Method:

• Mix all together, blitz and enjoy!
