    Express Green Smoothie

    Do you find some mornings are just CRAZY? Some mornings we cruise it in, whilst others are like the leaving scene from "Home Alone". Everyone is running in different directions and are in a state of disarray. I have a breakfast express green smoothie that will fix at least one aspect of those chaotic mornings.

    My breakfast express green smoothie takes no time to make, the ingredients are always in the fridge or freezer. Best of all it can be drunk on the way out the door and is nutrient-packed!Granted, the first time I made this for the kids they looked sceptical, but once they tried it they loved it.

    The Thermomix makes short work out of the frozen fruits and makes everything deliciously smooth. If you don't have a Thermomix a high powered food processor will also work.

    The reason for adding the spinach is the nutrient value. By adding 2 packed cups of baby spinach the smoothie's flavour doesn't change, but the nutrient load does. This fast healthy meal in a drink will give you all the nutrients you need to start the day in a convenient "take away" cup if time is short.

    To keep things super fast and super chilled in the morning you want to have some fruit pre-frozen. I'm a fruit Nazi! I hate seeing fruit go to waste so the minute something looks unloved in the fruit bowl I peel it and put it in a ziplock bag ready for a smoothie.

    The most important fruits to freeze are ripe bananas and pineapple. I will also trim and cut strawberries to freeze if they're on special, but it's usually more economical to buy bags of frozen strawberries and berries.

    Another great idea is to make a batch of the breakfast express green smoothie and pour it into popsicle moulds. It makes a delicious healthy after school treat for the kids.

    If you want to try a variation on this smoothie, take a look at my Pine-Lime Splice. It tastes just like the ice-cream but is so much healthier.

    Hi, I'm Julie, a recipe developer, published cookbook author, and registered nutritionist. My first love has always been cooking and food. ThermoKitchen is where my love of food combines with a "lazy streak" as I utilise my favourite appliance, the Thermomix! I discovered Thermomix in 2014 and loved it so much I became a consultant for the brand.
