DRINKS
Summer Smoothie
By Karen Knowler, http://www.therawfoodcoach.com
This is one of my favourite smoothies ever. So simple yet so profound, this one is great for beginners as well as more proficient smoothie makers alike.
1 cup pure water 1 medium mango 1 nectarine 2 small bananas 3 Medjool dates
Simply blend all ingredients thoroughly until a thick but bit-free consistency is achieved. Pour
into a tall glass, add ice if preferred, and enjoy!
Raw Coach's Top Tips: Use frozen fruit if you prefer a much cooler drink or add ice instead of water in the original
blend. If the drink is too thick for you, simply add more water until it's the way you like it!
Spinach and Mango "Green Smoothie”
By Karen Knowler, http://www.therawfoodcoach.com
Approximately 6 large handfuls of baby spinach
1 large fresh juicy mango
Chop the mango and place in the bottom of your blender. Wash the spinach and add that in on top. Blend the two together, making sure that every piece of fruit and green has been blended
together and no lumps remain. Taste-test. If too green-tasting, add more mango. If too sweet, add more spinach. If too thick,
add some pure water and blend to your desired consistency. When you're there and happy with your smoothie (yes, the colour's very green, but taste it - it's
fantastic!), pour into a large glass. You'll probably have two pint glasses full, so drink one now and put the other in the fridge and drink later. It will keep for about 12 hours in the fridge and will still taste great.
Raw Coach's Top Tips:
This is just the start of what's possible to make with green smoothies. Experiment with bananas,
dates, nectarines, apples, pears, peaches, apricots—any of your favourite fruits.
I've suggested spinach as it's a juicy and sweet green which most people love. Don't stick with
spinach-there are masses more greens to try.
