Ingredients
  

  • 1 x large banana or 2 small ones, chopped
  • 2 x dates soaked in water for at least 8 hours, chopped
  • half a mango I usually have sliced frozen mango from the supermarket in the freezer, and use a good handful of cubes, chopped
  • half an apple chopped
  • 2 x celery stalks
  • handful of spinach
  • handful of leafy greens that I have at hand lettuce, lambs lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.
  • handful of fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 x teaspoon spirulina powder or 3-4 tablets
  • 1 x tablespoon good quality organic barley grass powder
  • 2 x tablespoons of shredded coconut
  • 1 x thumb-nail size pice of ginger
  • 1 x teaspoon full of raw honey
  • half a teaspoon of date syrup
  • sprinkle of sea salt
  • optional: dash of cinnamon
  • optional: dash of ground cardamom

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the chopped banana, the mango pieces, the dates and the chopped apple to a heavy bottom sauce pan. Add a little water to cover the bottom. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until all the fruit is cooked through, especially the apple.
  • Once the fruit pieces are cooked through, take them from the pan and add to a high-speed blender or a smoothie maker and blend on high.
  • Then add all the remaining ingredients (these stay all raw, only the fruit gets cooked) to the cooked fruit mix in the blender, again blend on high and Voila - ready is your greeny godess smoothie.
  • Serve in a nice, large glass, drizzle with some date syrup: ENJOY!
