Simple Green Smoothie (with variations)

Smoothies are great for packing a lot of nutrients into an easy-to-drink meal, are quick to make and you can chuck anything in them! I usually have the same base of ingredients that I'll chuck into a smoothie, but I don't often make any two smoothies the same.

I love using spinach as a base and I can't forget to add in my Nutra Organics Collagen Beauty Powder with Verisol + C now as the benefits are just too great for my skin. Here is my go-to green smoothie, with a few variations up in the mix.

Ingredients
Handful of spinach
Kiwifruit (I leave the skin on for added fibre)
Half a frozen banana (freeze your overripe bananas - or fresh is fine)
1 Tbsp Chia seeds
Almond butter (or any other nut butter)
Almond milk or water
2 scoops Nutra Organics Collagen Beauty with Verisol + C

Optional variations (any of the following can be added for some variety to your smoothie)
2cm cube of fresh ginger
Few slices of fresh pineapple
Cup of frozen berries
1/2 cup frozen mango pieces
1/3 of an avocado
1-2 tsp raw cacao powder
Tbsp fresh walnuts
1-2 scoops pea protein powder (or any other protein powder)
1/4 cucumber with some juice of half a lemon

Method
Place all ingredients in a blender or nutri-bullet and blitz for a couple of minutes.

Tip - try mixing up your smoothies and experimenting with different ingredients until you find your favourite!
