Hello lovelies,
on mornings when I need something fresh and good in a hurry, this green immune smoothie is my favorite. Spinach, banana and avocado make it wonderfully creamy, while coconut water, ginger and lime bring freshness – and best of all, it's ready in just 10 minutes. I love blending it whenever I feel like treating my body to a little extra hit of vitamins.
The lovely thing about green smoothies is how effortless they are: everything into the blender, a quick whizz, done. The avocado is my secret here – it gives a velvety texture without any dairy and keeps you full for ages, and the other half of it gets diced into my papaya salsa with avocado and lime later in the day. Fresh ginger and a squeeze of lime add the invigorating kick that suits the morning so well.
Depending on my mood I make it thicker or thinner – simply add more or less coconut water. A few ice cubes make it nicely cold, and a spoonful of nut butter or some rolled oats turn it into a little breakfast; on mornings when breakfast has to be something you can slice, I reach for my banana bread with fresh cranberries, which a chia egg keeps fluffy without any egg at all. Either way: a bright green start to the day that just does you good.
