Supergreens smoothie bowl

Chris Middleton

Packed with green power, this smoothie from Breakfast Bowls by Caroline Griffiths, will get you firing on all cylinders. Green superfoods powder is a combination of spirulina, chlorella and wheatgrass — available from health food stores and some supermarkets. Other superfoods powders will work well in this recipe too. Try maca, acai, mesquite or protein powder.

For the smoothie bowl

1 cup	Natural yoghurt, or milk kefir (Main)
½ cup	Ice, crushed
3 handfuls	Baby spinach, or shredded kale (Main)
1	Avocado, stone removed (Main)
2 Tbsp	Mint leaves
1 Tbsp	Linseed / flaxseed, ground (Main)
1 Tbsp	Green superfoods powder (Main)
1	Lime, enough juice to taste
1 drizzle	Honey, to taste

To serve

1	Avocado, cubed (Main)
1 handful	Pumpkin seeds (Main)
1 handful	Shelled hemp seeds (Main)
2 sprigs	Mint leaves

Directions

1. Whizz the yoghurt or kefir with the ice, spinach or kale, and the avocado, mint, linseed and superfoods powder in a high-speed blender or small food processor until smooth. Scrape down the inside of the blender or processor bowl if required. If the mixture isn't moving well in the blender, add a tablespoon or two of water or kefir, being careful not to add too much liquid.
2. Taste the smoothie and add a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of honey to balance the flavour to your liking.
3. Spoon the thick smoothie mixture immediately into two chilled bowls and top with the avocado, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and mint.
