Get up and green smoothie

This is a true green smoothie with only a little sweetness from the apple and honey. Lemon helps balance the green taste, too. If you find the flavour too tart, add a bit more honey

Ingredients

  • 1 cup washed baby spinach leaves (or kale or silverbeet)

  • 1 avocado
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon manuka honey
  • 1 1/4 cup coconut water, or chilled water
  • 1/2 cup ice

Method

  • 1
    Blend until smooth and serve immediately.

Notes

A grunty blender should have no trouble whizzing up something solid like an apple, but if your blender isn't up to the task try using a juicer instead, and just use the apple juice.
