Spinach Passion Fruit Smoothie with Chia Seeds
Tangy and tropical, with sweet pineapple, perfumed passion fruit and a mild green base.
Baby spinach is the easiest green to hide in a smoothie, because its taste is so mild. Here it meets two strong tropical flavours: perfumed, tangy passion fruit and sweet pineapple. The crunchy passion fruit seeds are edible and blend partly, leaving a little texture.
Chia seeds swell as the smoothie stands and add fibre. The result is fresh and fruity, a good choice for breakfast or a cold drink after a workout.
