Green Smoothie Prep + Recipes

My morning routine is a green smoothie. I don't have time to cut chop and clean in the morning, so make enough freezer friendly smoothie bags for a few weeks ahead.

So in the morning its whiz,  rinse blades and go!

Prep

You can use any fruit you like I recommend pineapple, apple and mango, all tastes good with some orange added. Chop your fruit into small pieces then measure into 1/2 - 1 cup portions in snap lock bags, adding a handful of baby spinach as you go. As you seal the bag push out the air. Then freeze. 

My daily habit is this tasty green smoothie - 

Green Smoothie 

Freezer bag 

  • 1/2 cup pineapple, chopped
  • Handful baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup orange, chopped

In the blender with prepared smoothie bag 

  • 200ml Coconut water
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp crushed ginger 

Directions
Add all the ingredients to your blender then whiz until smooth.

You can drink straight away, if you do you might like to add some extra water. I often do this or I leave it in my blender bottle and pop it into my lunch bag and drink it after my gym session while I make breakfast at work.
