Nature's Response to an Extraordinary Summer in The New Forest
Our resident forager, Sammie, reflects on an extraordinary summer in the New Forest and the wild plants that have thrived, struggled and adapted along the way
This is my go-to smoothie for days I know I’m going to be busy, but still want something nourishing. It uses ingredients I tend to have in the house, although it’s a very forgiving recipe, so do feel free to use whatever you have. You could switch the almonds for cashews, or hulled hemp seeds, for example, or change around the fruit according to your preferences. Spinach, especially if you use baby leaf, provides a handy portion of greens but is so mild in flavour you really don’t notice it.
If you only need one portion, I would suggest halving the quantities. It tends to change colour if stored for too long (as the fruit oxidises), which can be a little less appetising.
