Energy-Boosting Green Smoothie
LYNDI COHEN
ADD TO MY RECIPES
A delicious snack or light breakfast, this power smoothie is beautifully balanced and filling. I’m kind of obsessed, in a healthy way.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (45 g) baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- 1 tablespoon 100% nut butter
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 fresh Medjool date, pitted
- ½ cup ice cubes
Method
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blitz for 30 seconds or until it has a creamy texture.
TIPS
- Use the milk that makes you feel good, whether that’s full-fat or low-fat dairy or nut milk to make it dairy-free or vegan.
- Be sure to peel and slice your banana before freezing so you don’t break your blender.
- If your machine can’t chop ice, simply add a few cubes before you drink it.
Known as the Nude Nutritionist! It took me a decade of dieting to realise I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life obsessed with food or having to start again every Monday. So I quit diets. Put my health (not weight) first. And over time, lost 20kg. Nowadays, you’ll catch me keeping it real on the TODAY show or online helping people eat healthy without dieting or obsessing.
