Vibrant, colourful smoothies are my absolute favourites. I’ve tried a lot of different combinations over time and I find this Tutti Frutti & Veggie Smoothie to be a total winner.
I came up with this smoothie recipe whilst attending a smoothie making session organized by John Lewis a few weeks ago.
We had the opportunity to create our own smoothies & juices, inspired by an array of beautifully displayed fresh fruits, veggies, and nuts.
To make the most of all that goodness, I put together a smoothie that includes super simple fresh ingredients that I usually have in my kitchen.
I promise, this Tutti Frutti & Veggie Smoothie is a seriously full-of-goodness smoothie, and even though it looks pretty fancy, doesn't require more than 5 min to make.
The green layer is super thick and creamy thanks to the avocado, whilst the spinach and mint leaves give a refreshing taste and a good dose of vitamins.
On top of that, a bright creamy mix of frozen raspberries and fresh coconut water give you a sweet, fruity flavour and boost your antioxidant intake.
To finish off the smoothie, I've also added a refreshing combo of carrot juice, orange juice and ginger. Loaded with vitamins and anti-inflammatory benefits, both carrot & ginger are an amazing addition to the drink.
To make the blending task a lot easier, I recommend you use a powerful blender, that can easily liquefy ingredients such as carrots.
If you’re looking for a sweet, colorful smoothie for breakfast or post-workout this is exactly what you need – This Tutti Frutti & Veggie Smoothie will keep you full, satisfied and energized all morning!
