Kiwi Banana Green Smoothie

I had intended to share a delicious creamy green spinach sauce that I often make to put on gnocchi, but I didn’t get around to making and photographing it. Instead, I opted for a fairly quick and easy green option so as not to miss out on today’s prompt – a simple smoothie. The combination of banana and kiwi fruit give a nice balance of sweet and sour, and it’s a nice liquidy one which is refreshing and easy to gulp down. So without further adieu…

  1. that looks and sounds so good I am regretting not buying banana at shops today (they always go manky), esp as I need to use some of the mint in the yard!

    1. Thanks Johanna! Yes, I had a patch a few weeks ago when my bananas kept going bad as I didn’t eat them, which is unusual in my household as we love them. Back on the banana wagon now though thankfully.

    1. Thanks so much Chelsey!

    1. Thanks Susan! It just gives it that little bit extra.
