Patricia Berger's Favorite Smoothie Recipe
The Perfect Breakfast
I like to start my mornings with something healthy that also gives me an energy boost. My favorites: smoothies. They are quick to prepare, refreshing, and filling. Additionally, they contain lots of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
Here's my favorite recipe for a green smoothie:
Quantity: One large glass; about 300 ml
Preparation: about 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 banana
- 1/4 avocado, peeled, pitted
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1/2 apple, preferably unpeeled
- 20 ml orange juice
- 1/8 piece of lemon, preferably with peel, if it's organic
- 1 small piece of ginger
- 100 ml water
- Optional: 5g (1 scoop) rose hip powder
Preparation:
- Cut the ingredients and peel if necessary
- In a blender, mix avocado and banana for about 1 minute
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until the smoothie has a creamy consistency without lumps
My secret ingredient is the rose hip powder from Fairvital. It is easy to dose with the measuring scoop. Rose hips are a good source of nutrients because they are full of plant active ingredients. They are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K. They also contain some minerals: calcium, manganese, magnesium, copper, and phosphorus.
Rose hips also contain numerous secondary plant substances, flavonoids, and natural antioxidants. This is how I enhance my smoothie with local fruits.
On warm days, I also enjoy the smoothie with ice cubes.
