Green Goddess Detox Smoothie

Healthy Recipe

Prep 5 minServes 1–2Vegan · Dairy-free

Don’t let the colour fool you — this smoothie tastes like tropical fruit, not salad. Pineapple and banana do the sweetening while a big handful of spinach quietly adds iron, fibre and folate.

Ingredients

  • 2 big handfuls fresh spinach
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1 cup coconut water or cold water
  • 1 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds (optional)

Method

  1. Add the liquid to your blender first, then the spinach, and blend until smooth.
  2. Add banana, pineapple, ginger, lime and seeds. Blend again until creamy.
  3. Pour, sip, and feel a little more awake.

Freeze leftover smoothie in a lolly mould for a healthy treat the kids will actually ask for.

Good to know

Ginger and lime add a gentle zing that helps beat any afternoon slump, and the whole thing comes together in the time it takes your kettle to boil.
