Scale
100–125 g ready-to-use leaf spinach
1 small pineapple (approx. 400 g fruit flesh)
100–125 g Sunsweet prunes
Optional:
8–12 ice cubes
4 sprigs of fresh lemon balm
In addition:
4 large glasses
4 thick straws
Instructions
- Wash the spinach and leave to drain in a sieve. Quarter the pineapples, remove the core and cut the fruit from the skin. Chop the pineapple into rough pieces.
- Put the spinach, pineapple and Sunsweet prunes into a blender. Add 300 ml water and purée until smooth. If necessary, add more water until the smoothie has a creamy consistency.
- If desired, put 2 to 3 ice cubes in 4 large glasses. Divide the smoothie into portions. Garnish with lemon balm. Place straws in the glasses and serve.
Variation: mango is a good alternative to pineapple.
Tip: a powerful blender makes the drink particularly creamy. A hand-held blender is not recommended. However, if only a hand-held blender is available, leave out the spinach if necessary.
