Tip 7 of 25 ways to eat more fruit and veg

Have a breakfast smoothie

There are so, so many different ways to get fruit and vegetables into a delicious smoothie.

You can have innumerable combinations and if you find that a breakfast smoothie with just fruit and veg doesn’t stay with you long enough, try adding a teaspoon of peanut butter (no sugar/no salt type) or a tablespoon of nuts or seeds.  (My tip: put the nuts or seeds in the blender first and grind finely to mix in well with the rest of your ingredients)

 

Here are a couple great ideas:

Chai smoothie (serves 2)

• 450g kale (or 1 and 1 of spinach and kale)
• 475ml almond milk
• thumb-sized piece of ginger
• 2 pears (cored)
• 1 banana
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp cinnamon

 

Cherry delight smoothie

• 450g spinach
• 270ml water
• 1 banana
• 100g blueberries
