In the middle of study deadlines, work commitments, and everyday life, I needed something quick, nourishing, and uplifting — something that would boost my energy without relying on caffeine or snacks. This green smoothie became that small but powerful daily ritual. It’s refreshing, full of goodness, and a surprisingly delicious way to pack in more greens.
As a bonus, it’s now part of our morning routine at home. When our son returned after a couple of years flatting in Dunedin — where takeaways were a staple — I was determined to help him reset with better habits. I started making this smoothie for him, hoping it might help. It did more than that — now he asks for it. A small victory worth celebrating.
This smoothie is simple, nourishing, and proof that adding more greens doesn’t have to be difficult — or dull.
