Feeling too hot to eat today? I did – yet a lunch time smoothie is a perfect compromise of drink and solids. I made this one with less liquids than usual but added ice cubes, creating a consistency reminiscent of the frozen yoghurt I used to have in the States many years ago. I ate it with a spoon, which fooled me into thinking it was pudding, yet it was jam-packed with green goodness and ONE beetroot to make it this perfectly pink!

Pink Lunch Smoothie

1/2 romaine lettuce

1/2 cucumber

1 avocado

1 banana

1 beetroot

2″ ginger root piece, peeled

1/4 fennel

1 lemon

Handful of cashews, not roasted!

Chia seeds

Coconut water

Ice cubes

Blend the lot and depending on the consistency you are after, add more or less coconut water (or regular filtered water if you prefer). Enjoy your Tuesday! x
