My Favourite Green Smoothie (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free and Raw)

I’m a sporadic smoothie drinker. Something about using the blender creates a mental block for me. Hmmm… Anyhow, as I’ve said before spring means green and the tricky bright colour of this smoothie belies the delicious fruity fun underneath. Plus side, my husband is able to have all the ingredients in this smoothie with no troubles at all.

My Favourite Green Smoothie
Makes 4 cups

1 cup green grapes
1 cup fresh or frozen mango
Several handfuls greens of your choice (I think baby kale is best)
1 cups water, plus more for thinning to desired texture or to get your crappy blender to work
2 tablespoons ground flax (optional)
Lemon wedges (optional)

Throw all ingredients together in a blender and let them go. If you have a weak blender, reserve some water and pour that in, whenever it needs to get moving. I love a squeeze of lemon on top, but this is already a little tart, so take caution.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
