The Green Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

1. 1 Ripe Banana: These add natural sweetness, creaminess, and a boost of potassium.
2. 1 Cup Frozen Spinach: Packed with vitamins and minerals, frozen spinach gives your smoothie a vibrant green hue. I always use fresh baby spinach that I have put into the freezer myself as I find they blend better than the ‘frozen’ chunks of spinach from the freezer section of the supermarket.
3. 1 Cup Tropical Frozen Fruit Mix: A medley of pineapple, mango, and kiwi adds a burst of tropical flavour and a dose of vitamin C. This is from the regular frozen fruit section of the supermarket.
4. 2 Tablespoons Hemp Protein Powder: Elevate your smoothie with plant-based protein for sustained energy. I have used the Naturya Organic Hemp Protein Powder here.
5. 1 Cup Oat or Coconut Milk: Choose based on your preference for a creamy and dairy-free base. I kind of prefer Coconut because it has that tropical vibe to it, but oat is just as good.
6. 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence: Enhances the overall flavor profile with a hint of sweetness.
7. A Pinch of Cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth to the taste.

Instructions:

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

• Assemble all your ingredients for easy blending.

1. Prep Your Ingredients:

• Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks.
• Measure out the frozen spinach and tropical fruit mix.
• Ensure your hemp protein powder is ready for use.

1. Blend Away:

• In a high-powered blender, combine the banana chunks, frozen spinach, tropical fruit mix, hemp protein powder, oat or coconut milk, vanilla essence, and a pinch of cinnamon.
• Blend on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid; if too thin, add more frozen fruit.

1. Taste and Adjust:

• Take a moment to taste your creation. Adjust the sweetness or thickness to your liking by adding more vanilla essence, cinnamon, or frozen fruits.

1. Serve and Enjoy:

• Pour the Tropical Green Smoothie into a glass or your favorite reusable smoothie cup.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of fresh tropical fruit for an extra touch.
