1 1/2 - 2 cups fruit, I like frozen mango and pineapple
1 banana
2 silverbeet leaves and 2 cos lettuce leaves
A handful of almonds
1 cup water
1 tsp spirulina (incredibly high in iron, great for babies and their crazy high iron requirements)
Throw everything in your blend and blend on high for 1 minute.
TASTE TEST. If adding greens is new for you or you have a sweeter tooth, you may need to adjust the flavours by adding more fruit.
Serve in jars to drink or in bowls to scoop with some coconut yoghurt. I pop BJ in his learning tower, he helps me make it, sees everything that goes in (usually stealing silverbeet along the way). I serve his in a bowl with a spoon, the bib gets a lot of it but it becomes a fun game for him scooping the smoothie out of his bib too.
Serve as is or with a coconut yoghurt scoop. Everyday this one gets better, so be happy with leftovers.
I really like the fact that I am encouraged to cook with what arrives in the veg bag, often new, exciting veg. It makes me more adventurous and my meals are healthier based on seasonal ingredients and veg grown naturally, no chemicals.
