Notes
- The quantities don’t have to be exact for this smoothie recipe - if you have a bit more or less of one ingredient that is ok. You may just need to add a bit more or less water to make an ideal consistency.
- Want a sweeter smoothie? Add orange juice instead of water — it will not be as low calorie but will still be a sneakily healthy smoothie for kids.
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger instead. Add 1/8 - 1/4 tsp.
