Frozen Fruit and Green Smoothie

I've always been somewhat apprehensive about green juices and smoothies - or else why would they be termed as mean green beverages, right?

Fortunately, I came across the following recipe in a book called Virgin Vegan, and it assured that only the fruit flavours come through. Also, once you try this, you will get a clearer idea how to vary which fruit or green you use and what amounts to suit your taste.

You'll need:

1 medium banana, sliced and frozen

1 cup blueberries, frozen

1 cup soy milk

2 cups spinach

How:

Place ingredients into a blender in the order given, pushing down hard on the spinach. Run the blender on high and once the spinach disappears into the mix, blend for another 10 seconds. The mixture should be like a thick shake.

Be as creative as you like, try using other fruits. Here I topped my smoothie with some strawberries. Also, consider substituting the soy milk with almond milk, apple juice or water. Enjoy your frozen fruit and green smoothie!
