Green Smoothie

Green Smoothie

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 cups fruit, I like frozen mango and pineapple

1 banana

2 silverbeet leaves and 2 cos lettuce leaves

A handful of almonds

1 cup water

1 tsp spirulina (incredibly high in iron, great for babies and their crazy high iron requirements)

Directions

Throw everything in your blend and blend on high for 1 minute.

TASTE TEST. If adding greens is new for you or you have a sweeter tooth, you may need to adjust the flavours by adding more fruit.

Serve in jars to drink or in bowls to scoop with some coconut yoghurt. I pop BJ in his learning tower, he helps me make it, sees everything that goes in (usually stealing silverbeet along the way). I serve his in a bowl with a spoon, the bib gets a lot of it but it becomes a fun game for him scooping the smoothie out of his bib too.

Serve as is or with a coconut yoghurt scoop. Everyday this one gets better, so be happy with leftovers.

I'd heard what The Free Company were doing around seasonality, biodiversity and no-dig farming and I was so pleased to see they also had a Veg Club. The quality is top notch including wonderful fresh salad which is a big win in our house.
