How to make a kale smoothie… step-by-step video

Health editor and qualified nutritionist, Tracey Raye, says, "This super simple, four-ingredient kale smoothie is packed with vitamin C and electrolytes for glowing, hydrated skin. The gorgeous green colour comes from the addition of fresh kale leaves, which add fibre to support balanced energy release from the natural fruit sugars, without any bitter taste of veggies. It’s also naturally dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan."

Cook’s tip: Boost your plant points

“I’ve added a handful of spinach into this green smoothie for extra fibre, vitamins A, C and K, as well as iron. A squeeze of citrus helps our bodies to absorb the iron from the spinach, and you can also add a tablespoon of flaxseed for extra fibre. In total, you’re getting over 5 plant points.”
