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.

Plan a romantic weekend in the New Forest at Lime Wood. Just under two hours from London, this laid-back luxury countryside escape offers serene spa time, forest walks, candlelit dining, and cosy hideaway rooms designed for two.
We sat down with Functional Medicine practitioner Gemma McGuigan ahead of her workshops with us here at Lime Wood to talk all things perimenopause and menopause, from the signs many women overlook to simple lifestyle shifts that can ease symptoms and support long-term health.
