Super-Duper Green Smoothie














Put down that nasty cup of Banana-Buzz, All-Berry, Mango-Magic, Berry-Crush, Gym-Junkie with extra Protein (and extra sugar and calories and I-don't-know-what-else) Smoothie-trash from your local joint and get some of this Super-Duper Green Smoothie in your face.



Super-Duper Green Smoothie
adapted from Body+Soul
Makes 1

1 cup baby spinach leaves
2 teaspoons flaxseed oil
1 frozen banana
1/2 green apple
Flesh from 1/2 mango
Juice of 1 orange (I used a blood orange, but you can use any orange.)
1/2 Lebanese cucumber
1/2 cup water
6 mint leaves

Bung everything into a blender and blitz the daylights out of it. Right on.

  1. I never thought of adding a cucumber in my fruit smoothie, must add such a fresh flavor. I need to try this.

    1. Thanks Janette. The cucumber does add a freshness and it works particularly well with the mint.

  2. Awesome colour! I love a good smoothie, and this looks particularly healthy (I love flaxseed oil, lately I've been using it on so many things).

    1. Flaxseed oil gets dumped into just about all my smoothies. I love the Kermit green too.
