Trudi’s Tips: – For brunch wow factor, serve with a sprig of fresh mint and a stick of skin-friendly cucumber.
– A handful of fresh spinach whizzed in will go down a treat.
– Fresh blueberries sprinkled on top always nice for extra grunt.
– Substitute honey with maple syrup or raw sugar if you like a sweeter smoothie.
– Add extras such as cacao chips, grated lime rind, vanilla essence, cocoa powder, almond meal or other seeds for extra goodness. A halved kiwifruit with skin still on or feijoas whole are a great fibre addition too.
– Serving your smoothie in a mason jar is always fun.
