Monday is the hardest day of the week, everybody feels tired and lazy. Don’t worry, it’s the Monday illness! All you need is to refuel your body with a refreshing smoothie full of vitamins. We have great recipes from our most talented bloggers.

Deliciously Ella
Serves 1
Ingredients
2/3 of a mug of coconut water (200ml)
1 tablespoon of coconut yoghurt (I use a brand called Coyo)
A big handful of spinach
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon of bee pollen (optional)
Method
Simply peel the banana then place everything into a blender and blend until smooth.

Madeleine Shaw
Serve 1
Ingredients:
1 whole Thai coconut
200g of blueberries or other berry
1 tsp of honey (optional)
1 tbsp of desiccated coconut
¼ tsp of cinnamon
½ tsp of fresh grated ginger
Method
Crack open your coconut and pour the water into your blender, then scrape out the flesh. I use a cleaver knife to whack it open but there are also more sensible (and safe) methods and tools to get it open.
Place the flesh, honey (if using), cinnamon, ginger and almost all of the berries (reserving a few for decoration) blend until smooth then top with the desiccated coconut and leftover berries.
This will keep on the fridge for a day or so. It’s kinda fun it turns into a jelly ☺ but best to drink it fresh.

Sally’s Baking Addiction
Serve 1
Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain coconut water
2 frozen ripe bananas, previously peeled & sliced
1 cup chopped pineapple (frozen or fresh)
1 cup chopped mango (frozen or fresh)
2 cups spinach or kale
1/2 avocado, sliced
optional: 1 Tablespoon ground flax or flaxseed oil
Directions:
Make sure you have a strong, powerful blender. I like this Ninja or this Vitamix.
Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order listed. Blend on high for at least 3 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Add more coconut water if it’s too thick.
