Mint, ginger and apple smoothie
Apples make a great breakfast smoothie, the addition of ginger
and mint will really give you a
boost, making a refreshing start
to the day.
Enough for 2
- 4 sweet juicy eating apples
- 150 ml apple juice
- 3 cm ginger root
- 8 sprigs of garden mint or 'Berries & Cream’'
- 2 tbs lime juice
Core the apples and chop coarsely, no need to peel,
red skinned
apples leave pretty red flecks in your smoothie.
Put half of the applesinto the blender or smoothie maker and whizz until smooth.
You may need a little extra apple juice, it depends on how juicy your apples are.
Add the peeled sliced ginger, mint and lime juice and blend again.
Finally add the remaining apple pieces and whizz until smooth.
