I thought I'd share my favourite recipe courtesy of OhSheGlows - this is a great site by Angela Liddon with lots of vegan recipes and she also as an Oh She Glows Cookbook full of recipes (which I haven't seen yet but I'm sure it's packed with great recipes and ideas!).
My favourite green smoothie from Angela is the Classic Green Monster, I've tried lots of green smoothies and what I love about this one is how easy it is to prep and make and it's also filled with ingredients I always have in the house - no need to go out and buy lots of different fruits or vegetables I wouldn't usually have at home so it's very convenient for me if I'm looking for a green smoothie pick-me-up!
You'll need:
- 1 cup of almond milk (or another milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- A dash of cinnamon
- 4 ice cubes
To make your yummy smoothie:
In a blender add your liquids - so pop in the cup of milk and almond butter first. Then add your pieces of frozen banana, spinach, chia seeds and cinnamon. I then blend for a few seconds and then add in the ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
Done! It's that easy. This usually makes 2 cups for me, if the mixture looks too thick I'll add more milk or water and blend again until it has the consistency I like.
It tastes great, the banana and almond butter really comes through and the flavours compliment each other well - meaning it's a super easy smoothie to drink!
