Having rather over-indulged last night (burger, chips and a pint or so) I felt the need for one of my more virtuous breakfasts this morning and that usually means a green smoothie. This one I find particularly refreshing and I love the zing of the ginger first thing in the morning. It’s also perfect after a short run or yoga session with the coconut water adding some serious rehydration.
Coco Ginger Virtue
Makes one large glass
- Handful of spinach
- Handful of frozen mango
- A cube (about 1cm) of fresh ginger (I keep cubes of peeled ginger in the freezer and add one of these if I haven’t got any fresh)
- 1 small banana
- 200ml Coconut water
- 100ml tap or filtered water
- a few fresh mint leaves
Blend everything together and enjoy.
