Ingredients
Smoothie
- ¼ cup washed borage leaves
- ½ ripe avocado
- ¼ cup sliced Lebanese or telegraph cucumber
- 1 cup frozen mango flesh
- ½ cup frozen pineapple pieces
- ¼ cup coconut water or almond milk
To serve
- borage flowers, pineapple, berries, granola
Instructions
Add all the smoothie ingredients except the borage flowers into a blender. The avocado will provide a delectably smooth texture. I have a high speed blender which whizzes it to silky smooth in 40 seconds. Regular blenders may be a little slower.
Blend on high speed until the leaves and icy fruits are completely broken down. Pour into bowls and top with borage flowers, fruit and granola.
