Spinach, Ginger and Banana Smoothie

I must admit that only recently I started making smoothies but I am already asking myself why I have waited so long?! Smoothies are a great way to very quickly have a delicious and packed with nutrients drink or – I would even say – light meal:

very quickly – because it takes literally a few minutes to put all the ingredients to a blender and process them till they are smooth,

delicious – because there can be so many different combinations of ingredients that surely everybody will find something to their liking,

packed with nutrients – because smoothies are made of fresh vegetables and fruit that are full of everything that is good for us, and finally

light meal – they are pretty filling so you can easily have it for healthy breakfast or even replace another meal with it, especially if you had (or plan to have) a heavier lunch or dinner.

The below combination of ingredients works beautifully and I am pretty sure that even somebody who is not keen on spinach will enjoy this healthy smoothie.

INGREDIENTS (for 1 portion):

50g spinach,

1 banana,

200ml coconut water,

juice from 0.5 lemon,

0.5 tsp grated ginger.

METHOD:

1. Put all the ingredients to a blender and process on high for 1-2 minutes until you have a smooth drink.
