The HONESTLY HEALTHY #slimdown: Kale and oat smoothie

Natasha Corret's latest book is clean eating with serious flair

Katie Mythen-Lynch

In a world full of processed and sugar-dense food, gourmet vegetarian chef Natasha Corrett has created four cleansing recipe plans suitable for every occasion. Her new book Honestly Healthy Cleanse is a cookbook for food-lovers who want to look and feel fabulous. This week, we’re sharing four of the recipes on the #slimdown plan so you can try them at home. 

On her delicious Kale and Oat Smoothie, Natasha says: “This is an energy-creating smoothie – the oats are fantastic for releasing their energy slowly and so this smoothie will keep you full until lunch. Serves one as a breakfast, two as a bite, or one as an accompaniment to a solid breakfast.”

 Ingredients

150g pear, cored

45g kale

115g cucumber

40g gluten-free oats

480ml coconut water

1 tsp spirulina powder

 

Here’s how to make it:

Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until completely smooth. The smoothie is best drunk straight away, but you can always put it in a jar and take it out with you to drink as soon as you can during the day.

Honestly Healthy Cleanse by Natasha Corrett is available now from all good bookshops. Honestly Healthy
