servings: 1 -2   // prep time: 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Kombucha (or coconut water/water)
  • 1 handful baby spinach or any sad looking greens from the fridge (I freeze these also)
  • 1 raw zucchini, chopped & frozen 
  • 1 raw cucumber, chopped & frozen
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
  • 2cm knob ginger
  • juice 1 lime & zest
  • sprigs fresh mint
  • 1 heaped tbsp collagen (optional)
  • 2 heaped tbsp coconut yoghurt (optional)

 

METHOD

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and process until smooth. 

NOTES
If ever my ginger or turmeric or lemons/limes are starting to look a little sad I just chuck them straight into my freezer and put them into smoothies or grate it into main meals.

Also whenever you add vegetables into the freezer as they have a high water content the water expands and partially breaks down the fibres allowing them to blend smoothie and become less stringy/chewy!
