Ingredients

1 handful spinach (about 50g/2oz), roughly chopped
100g broccoli florets, roughly chopped
2 celery sticks
4 tbsp desiccated coconut
1 banana
300ml rice milk (see Tip)
¼ tsp spirulina or 1 scoop of greens powder or vegan protein powder (optional)

Tip

Rice milk

Brown rice milk is a great dairy alternative – I used one from Rude Health. Try to choose unsweetened versions, which are fortified with calcium and vitamins.

Method

Whizz 300ml water and the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
