Watercress Breakfast Smoothie Bowl

Watercress is packed with Vitamin C – just one bag of watercress gives you 50 mg of Vitamin C, more than the recommended daily amount of 45mg; 10mg more than in an orange of the same weight!

Prep: 10 mins Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 65g mango (fresh or frozen)
• 35g watercress
• 26g spinach
• 125ml pineapple juice

To serve (optional)

• Small handful blueberries
• ó an apple, cored and sliced
• Sprinkling of mixed seeds and nuts
• Small handful goji berries

Method:

1. To make the smoothie simply place all ingredients into a high-powered blender or smoothie maker and blitz until smooth.
2. Check the consistency is to your liking and add a little more pineapple juice if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
3. At this stage the smoothie can be kept in the fridge for up to two days or frozen for up to one month.
4. To serve, pour into a cereal bowl and decorate with the fruit and seeds, arranging them however you like on top. Why not experiment by adding different fruits, berries or even edible flowers and herbs?

Tip: Use frozen mango to ensure that your smoothie comes out of the blender nice and chilled.
