Mint and Spinach Power Smoothie (and so tasty!)

Serves 2-3 glasses

This green smoothie combines super-healthy fruits and vegetables like spinach, mint and bananas. Instead of using regular milk, I opt for rice milk which is lactose and dairy-free.

It's ideal for breakfast, or for a quick snack. Besides being a life-saver by preventing me from gobbling down the entire contents of my fridge when I get back home from work starving!

Ingredients:

• Baby spinach (200g)
• 5 fresh mint leaves
• 2 bananas
• 3 tablespoons greek yoghurt
• 1 cup rice milk
• 1 teaspoon organic honey
• 1 pecan nut (for sprinkling on top)

Blend bananas, rice milk, yoghurt and honey until all are well mixed. Add the spinach and mint leaves and blend until smooth. Adjust with more or less rice milk depending on how thick you would like the smoothie to be.

Decorate with a few extra mint leaves on top and break a pecan nut into small pieces, sprinkling it over for added flavour!

If you like, or for a change once in a while, try adding other green fruit and vegetables such grapes or kiwis.

Enjoy this healthy treat!
