A Very Green Smoothie

This delicious very healthy green smoothie is a fantastic meal on the go, and so easy and quick to make.  I use a nutribullet but a powerful blender will do the trick.

• a handful of baby spinach
• 1/2 a frozen banana
• 1 cup of coconut or maple water
• 1/2 a green apple or pear
• a stick of celery
• juice or 1/2 a lime
• 1/2 a Lebanese cucumber
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 3-4 mint leaves
• a small knob of ginger
• 4-5 ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in the nutribullet or blender and blend until smooth.  If you use a blender it would be best to grate the ginger and chop up the banana, if you use a nutribullet this is not necessary.  One more little tip,  it is best to peel and chop the banana in half before freezing in a snap lock bag.
