How to make a spinach and linseed smoothie

1. Choose your produce
   Use fresh fruit and vegetables (or frozen).
2. Prepare the pineapple
   Use about half a pineapple. Peel it, removing only the skin – do not cut away the core.
3. Peel the orange
   Peel the orange, preferably with a knife. Try to remove only the orange peel and keep as much as possible of the white pith just below it.
4. Peel the banana
   Peel the banana.
5. Fill the blender
   Put the fruit in the blender and add the water. Then add the spinach and the linseed.
6. Blend
   Blend at medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth.

Tips:

• Pineapple: All of the inside of the pineapple can be used in a smoothie. You won't notice the hard core, as it blends into a completely smooth mixture.
• Orange: The white pith on the orange helps create a creamy, smooth consistency.
• Banana: Banana also makes the smoothie creamy and contains plenty of potassium. One a day can make a positive difference for people who struggle with high blood pressure.
• Linseed: Linseed contains plenty of healthy fat and fibre. Few people in Norway get enough fibre, which is important for the gut. Many nutrients also bind to the fibre, so it works as a kind of conveyor belt.
