LUNCH BOX These have been my go-to smoothies for the last year. I love the green ginger smoothie when I want a health kick (I usually make it with celery juice as the base to up my greens); the tahini, banana and yoghurt smoothie as an afternoon pick-me-up; the mocha and peanut butter for my sweet tooth and when I feel like a tired mama who needs an energy boost; and the mango raspberry smoothie bowl for a midweek breakfast, topped with lots of granola (see here and here).

Step 1

TIP If you want to make this using celery juice, roughly chop 3 large stalks of celery (about 100g) and place them in the blender with 200ml of water. Blend until smooth, then strain the liquid using a nut milk/jelly bag or a fine sieve to remove the pulp – this should leave you with about 250ml of juice.
