Green smoothie I
The idea of green smoothies may sound a little bizarre but they are a tasty way to eat greens while on a liquid diet and they provide nutrients that would be otherwise missing from your diet.
Ingredients
- a handful of baby spinach leaves, washed
- a handful of watercress leaves or rocket, washed
- a stalk of celery, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
- ½ cucumber, peeled and de-seeded, chopped
- 1 pear, peeled and cored, chopped
Method
- First puree the green leaves with a little water, then add all other ingredients and puree again. Strain and adjust thickness with cold water. Serve immediately.
Variations
Endless variations, whatever you prefer. If the taste is too tart for you, adjust thickness with whole milk instead of water.
