Plum and spinach smoothie
Thursday, 5th January 2017 by Chen

This recipe comes from box scheme member Jodie Abrahams, who says smoothies are delicious, easy to digest and are a great way to pack more fruit and veg into your diet.

This vibrant green smoothie is rich in antioxidants, fibre and iron. The almond milk and almond butter add a nutty creaminess too. Plums and spinach are both high in anti-oxidants, which help protect our cells and tissues from free radical damage. Vitamin C helps us absorb iron, making plums and spinach an ideal combination.

Serves 2.

Easy to adapt. Try substituting other soft fruits.
