Sunshine Smoothie with Mango and Orange

Serves 2

A breakfast option in the V-Healthy meal plan

(Can be) Vegan

Preparation time 15 mins

Ingredients

1 large orange
2.5cm root ginger, grated
100g yoghurt or soya yoghurt
150g drained, tinned mango (reserve juice or syrup)
2 tsp wheatgerm (optional)
1 tbsp porridge oats
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
2-3 drops vanilla extract (optional)

Method

1. Use a zester to make a few shreds of zest for garnish. Grate more zest to give ¼
tsp grated orange zest. Squeeze juice from the orange. There should be about 4 tbsps (60ml).

2. Wrap the grated ginger in a small square of muslin and twist hard to extract the juice (or use a juicer).

3. Put all ingredients into a liquidizer and blend until smooth. Taste. Sweeten with a little of the reserved juice from the tinned mango, if needed, and blend again.

4. Serve in glasses and garnish with the shreds of zest.


Note: tinned apricots also work well in place of mango.
