Jet's Places
4 X Take away shakes
I don't know if I have a good influence or if it's just that summer is coming, but the green smoothies, shake cups, healthy bars and bowls of salads are frequently appearing in the editorial office. Oh yes, and then gym classes are also being booked. Theo and Lilian comes in every morning dutifully with a self-made smoothie (“And I always put something green in it, Jet!”), but they did ask me for some new inspiration, because having the same thing every morning gets boring after a while. So voilà, here are four smoothies that you can easily make at home and then take in a cup to work. Of course, you can also just drink them at home.
What you need is a blender. You can play around a bit with the quantities. At least, I find that nice to do. If you want it a bit sweeter, add more fruit. If you want the smoothie a bit thicker, just add a little juice or water. Child can do the laundry.

Tip: sometimes I buy a lot of vegetables and fruits that need to be used quickly, they are the ripest and tastiest at the time of purchase. Then I fill all kinds of sandwich bags with different ingredients, put them in the freezer, and then in the morning I just have to dump a bag into the blender and add some juice or water, and then I'm done. Easy and quick, that's what I like.
