Other superfoods powders will work well in this recipe too. Try maca, acai, mesquite or protein powder.
Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz/1 cup) natural yoghurt or 250 ml (8½ oz/1 cup) milk kefir
- 60 g (2 oz/½ cup) crushed ice
- 3 handfuls baby spinach leaves or shredded kale
- 1 avocado, stone removed
- 2 tbsp mint leaves
- 1 tbsp ground linseed ( flaxseed meal)
- 1 tbsp green superfoods powder
- lime juice, to taste
- honey, to taste
To serve
- cubed avocado
- pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- hemp seeds
- mint leaves
Instructions
Whiz the yoghurt or kefir with the ice, spinach or kale and the avocado, mint, linseed and superfoods powder in a high-speed blender or small food processor until smooth. Scrape down the inside of the blender or processor bowl if required. If the mixture isn’t moving well in the blender, add a tablespoon or two of water or kefir, being careful not to add too much liquid.
Taste the smoothie and add a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of honey to balance the flavour to your liking.
Spoon the thick smoothie mixture immediately into two chilled bowls and top with the avocado, pepitas, hemp seeds and mint.
Note:
• To make dairy free, replace the yoghurt or kefir with a non-dairy alternative. To make vegan, also swap the honey for rice malt syrup, pure maple syrup or a couple of drops of liquid stevia.
