Green smoothie

for warmer days

Makes 2 big ones

Kale, 6 leaves

Mango, 1 large handful frozen

Banana, 1 large handful frozen

Yoghurt, 1 big tbsp

Parsley, 1 small bunch

Water or coconut water, 1 cup

Hemp seeds, 1 tbsp

Greens powder, 1 tbsp (optional)

Strip the kale from its stems then put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. I use a vitamix and it is 10 years old but still works so well.

Note: I don’t put ice in my smoothies but I like them to be thick and cold. Add enough water to your blender so that it is smooth but not too runny. Sometimes we have a super greens powder but this is not essential. Mint also goes well in this smoothie.

If you want to make a berry one, take out the kale and greens powder and replace with a handful of berries.
