Get up and green smoothie

This is a true green smoothie with only a little sweetness from the apple and honey. Lemon helps balance the green taste, too. If you find the flavour too tart, add a bit more honey

Ingredients

1 cup washed baby spinach leaves (or kale or silverbeet)

1/2 Granny Smith apple

1 avocado

juice of ½ lemon

1 tablespoon manuka honey

1 1/4 cup coconut water, or chilled water

1/2 cup ice

Method

1.Blend until smooth and serve immediately.

A grunty blender should have no trouble whizzing up something solid like an apple, but if your blender isn’t up to the task try using a juicer instead, and just use the apple juice.
