Nectarine Banana Smoothie with Spinach
Juicy and fruity, with fragrant nectarine, soft banana creaminess and a hint of fresh green.
Nectarines are a smooth-skinned variety of peach, which is handy for smoothies: there is no fuzz to peel off, and the skin blends in easily. They are juicy, fragrant and a source of vitamin C. Banana gives the drink a creamy base, while baby spinach adds folate and vitamin K in a mild, almost neutral way.
With water as the only liquid, the flavour stays fresh and fruity. It is a light smoothie for a warm morning or a refreshing snack after a bike ride.
No. Nectarine skin is smooth and thin and blends in completely.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
