The basic recipe for a delicious green smoothie
Blend 150g green vegetables, 150g fruit and 2dl water for 2 minutes. The types you use are up to your taste.
Blend your smoothie until creamy, but not too long. If you blend it for too long, heat will build up and damage the heat-sensitive vitamins.

Spinach smoothie
Blend 150 grams of spinach, 2 bananas, 150 milliliters of freshly squeezed mandarin or orange juice and 1 tablespoon of almond or sesame puree until smooth.

Carrot green smoothie
Finely pureethe greens of three carrots, 150 grams of baby spinach, 1 peeled orange, 1 mango, 1 banana, 1 tablespoon of linseed oil and 400 millilitres of water .

Cheers!
