Mint Green Smoothie with Ginger, Spinach & Lime

This Ginger, Lime & Mint Green Smoothie comes naturally loaded with plenty of vitamins & antioxidants. Zesty & fresh tasting, it’s perfect for refreshing your palate.

Though I was sorely tempted to follow the trend this week and talk up a recipe suitable for both Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night, somehow I find myself getting excited about a Ginger, Lime & Mint Green Smoothie. It’s been a while since I shared a truly virtuous recipe, so maybe my conscience was calling me.

Sometimes I get the urge to create something brand new. Really quickly. That’s usually when I break out the fruit and veg from my fridge, whip out my blender and see where my mood takes me. I had one such moment last week. This Ginger, Lime & Mint Green Smoothie is the result.

You can expect plenty of taste. First of all, if you’re scathingly expecting a mouthful of spinach, you are going to be delighted. The mild flavour of spinach just disappears. It – intentionally and completely – blends into the background. The over-riding flavours are lime and ginger. With a hint of mint and sweet apple. The lime is ever so slightly in your face, but great for waking yourself up. You can scale the amount of ginger up or down to suit your personal preference.

So, if you feel in need of a fresh & zingy wake-up drink pour yourself a glass and feel virtuous.
