A handful of raw spinach blended with banana, unsweetened soy milk and ground flaxseed. The banana completely hides the spinach, the soy milk brings 7 g of protein, and the flaxseed adds omega-3 fats and fibre. A good breakfast on mornings when vegetables would otherwise not happen.

Ingredients
Method
- 1
Blend the spinach with the soy milk first on high for 30 seconds until the liquid is a smooth, even green with no leafy bits.
- 2
Add the banana, ground flaxseed, lime juice and ice. Blend on high for another 30 seconds.
- 3
Pour and drink straight away; it darkens as it sits.
Tips
- Grind a week's worth of flaxseed in the dry jar of the mixer and keep it in the fridge.
- Frozen banana makes it thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Swaps
- Toned milk instead of soy milk works the same, with slightly less protein (it is then veg, not vegan).
