Almost always I order a green smoothie when it's on the menu. It has to be freshly made, of course.
Yesterday I spent half my day on the terrace of Bar Spek. One of my favorite places in Amsterdam. I worked there briefly (then suddenly the Amayzine adventure came my way) and my dear friend Merel is serving, so it feels like a living room. This Green Monster smoothie is going in my recipe book. Delicious. 

What's in it and how do I make it

• Half a cucumber
• 1 Granny Smith
• Half an avocado
• Handful of spinach
• Handful of basil
• Teaspoon of spirulina (packed with protein and gives you energy)

Put the cucumber and apple through a juicer. Pour the juice into the blender along with the other ingredients and blend away.
A perfect kickstart to your Monday, I thought.

Have a nice day!
