Instructions

  1. Wash the fresh spinach in cold water, drain and pat dry.
  2. Peel the banana and break it into rough pieces, halve the avocado, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh.
  3. Squeeze the lime and finely grate the ginger.
  4. Add the spinach, banana, avocado, coconut water, lime juice, ginger, chia seeds and honey if using to the blender.
  5. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more coconut water depending on how thick you like it.
  6. Pour into a glass, add ice cubes if you like, and enjoy right away.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: a really ripe banana sweetens the smoothie all on its own – often you won't need the honey at all. For an extra cold, creamy texture I freeze the banana and avocado first and blend them frozen. You can easily swap the spinach for kale or a little lamb's lettuce. If you'd like the smoothie more filling, add a spoonful of nut butter or a few rolled oats.
