The Best Green Smoothie for Nursing a Cold
Loaded with spinach, fresh orange, coconut and oats, this smoothie is an immune buster packed with vitamin C that'll keep you feeling full - because you couldn't possibly eat one more slice of dry toast.
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 handful spinach
- 3/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup steel cut or rolled oats
- 1 banana
- 3 clementines (or 1 large orange), peeled
- 3/4 cup pineapple, frozen
- 1 handful ice, crushed or cubed
In a blender, start by pouring in the almond milk and juice
Add in spinach, oats, coconut, oats, banana and clementine
Top with frozen pineapple and ice cubes
Blend on low until combined, work up to high speed and blend at highest speed for 30 seconds
Pour and enjoy!
This smoothie recipe is best when blended really well. The oats and coconut will add a texture unless they are blended at a high speed for the final step. If you need more liquid for a smoother blend, add an extra splash of juice!
Optional: Try adding a pinch of turmeric or cayenne for a kick!
