After a late night at our friends beautiful Marquee wedding, I needed a pick me up before I made my way to a friend's baby shower.
Inspired by this summers produce at my local organic farmers market, I made a delicious green smoothie even my husband and 3 year old loved.
Summer time in Perth is hot and humid at times. The cucumber ginger and mint combination is so refreshing on a hot summers day. The addition of the peach adds a sweet touch to makes greens more palatable to children.
Summertime Peach and Mint Smoothie
1 cucumber
1/2 lemon
1 handful fresh mint
3 leaves of fresh greens (I used rainbow chard)
1 Peach
1 inch piece of ginger grated
500ml water
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!!!
After drinking my green smoothie, I felt energised and inspired to be creative gift wrapping my baby shower present. I recently purchased 3 copies of Wholefood for Children books by my local hero, Jude Blureu to give to friends. I bought this book when I became a mum and I'm always going back to it time and time again. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to cook healthy and delicious food to nourish and delight their children, family and friends.
