Pretty Passiona
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen banana
- pulp of 3 passionfruit
- ¼ bunch of mint, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
- 4 medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon maca powder (optional)
- 500 ml (2 cups) almond milk
Method:
This one is fresh but still creamy. And it looks super pretty too!
Passionfruit seeds are high in zinc, which is kind of like one of the traffic controllers of the body – helping out our immune systems, our skin, even our brain function.
Pop the banana, passionfruit, mint, dates, maca powder (if using) and almond milk in your blender and whiz together until silky smooth. Pour into glasses and top with a few extra mint leaves.
Beautiful!
Serves 2
TIPS: This recipe also works really well if you swap the almond milk for coconut water.
Dreamy Greens
- 2 frozen bananas
- 100 g (1 cup) rolled oats
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin
- coconut oil, melted
- 125 ml (½ cup) coconut water
- 75 g (½ cup) cashew nuts soaked for 2 hours or overnight, then rinsed
- 45 g (¼ cup) medjool dates, pitted
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 30 g (¼ cup) goji berries
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cashew nuts
- 2 tablespoons bee pollen (optional)
Method:
Pop all the smoothie ingredients in the blender and wiz everything together until you have a thick, smooth consistency and all the lumpy bits are gone.
Pour into bowls and top the shredded coconut, goji berries, cashews and bee pollen (if using)
This is a masterpiece!
Serves 2
TIPS: You can use any kind of date for this recipe, but medjools are juicier and sweeter – I reckon they taste like caramel. If you don’t have any shredded coconut for the top, desiccated is totally fine.
