Method

  • If you have a high speed blender then simply add all of above and whizz up until smooth

  • Divide into 2 large glasses and top with vegan yogurt and some crushed raspberries or other fruit that you enjoy to eat.

If your blender is not high speed

  • If your blender is not so powerful add the spinach with the coconut milk FIRST and blend them together until the liquid becomes as smooth as possible, this way you won’t get lots of green pieces of spinach and the smoothie will look much more appetising.

  • Add the rest of the ingredients, blend once again until smooth

  • Divide between 2 large glasses and top with vegan yogurt and some crushed raspberries or other fruit that you enjoy to eat.

*For those of you eating a gluten free diet because of a gluten intolerance/allergy to gluten or suffering from celiac disease please check the ingredients listed in my recipes carefully. Although many of my recipes are gluten free please make sure you double check your ingredients to check. I am not intolerant to gluten so am no expert but I still like to provide GF options, please fully read your packets at home before making this, thank you :)
