| Spinach, grape & blueberry smoothie |
This healthier smoothie combines spinach with grapes and frozen blueberries to make a light, deeply refreshing, satisfying drink. The colour of the spinach dominates but the spinach itself barely penetrates the sweetness of the fruit.
The smoothie may not give you Popeye's muscles but it will please.

1 generous large handful spinach, washed and with grotty leaves removed
a medium bunch of unseeded grapes, branches removed

1/2 cup water containing juice of half an orange
extra granola for garnish
