Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie + Optimum 9200 Blender Giveaway

Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie | coconutandberries.com

Happy National Vegetarian Week! This year it’s all about sharing and enjoying delicious veggie food with your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours and community. Cooking for and with other people is a great way to introduce them to vegetarian living and make it fun too! 

 

Optimum 9200 Blender

To celebrate the event I’ve got an amazing prize to give away! A super-duper high-powered Optimum 9200 Blender from Froothie. 

“The Optimum 9200 next generation blender is a commercial-grade super blender designed for longevity, versatility and BRAWN. Stronger, faster and more powerful than a Vitamix, the Optimum 9200 will set you up to make amazing soups, the silkiest smoothies, super smooth dips, nut butters, ice cream and more. This is the best blender you’ll ever use and the last blender you’ll ever need. Once you try it, you’ll wish you’d had it all your life. ”

A few features you’re going to love: 

  • Crushes ice in seconds
  • Easy to use, with three speeds, three timer settings and a pulse button
  • 6 blade assembly creates a vortex that will suck your ingredients down and make blending a breeze
  • Super easy to clean and maintain by simply blending water in the jug at high speed

I own an Optimum 9400 which is the model before the 9200. There’s not a lot of difference between the two but the 9200 is a little more powerful, has a digital display and an automatic blending function. Read my full review of the Optimum 9400 (and get another awesome smoothie recipe!) here.  

See the bottom of this post for details on how to enter. 

Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie | coconutandberries.com

I’ve got quite a lot of smoothie recipes on my blog already and I love them all but this Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie is my current favourite! It seemed fitting to share it with you today while we’re talking blenders…

Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie | coconutandberries.com

As well as being a smoothie fanatic, I’m a herbal tea fanatic and this drink combines both!

Here, green tea comes in the form of matcha powder as it’s easier to use and stronger than brewed and cooled loose leaf/bagged green tea, and lemon and fresh ginger give it a really bright, clean flavour that makes it even more energising. I like my smoothies creamy and to sustain me through the morning so I add a dose of plant protein in the form of hemp seeds which manages both of those things.

Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie

Serving Size: 1 Serving (or 2 snack-size smoothies)

Lemon, Ginger & Green Tea Smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1 Frozen Banana OR Pear
  • 1 Large handful of kale or spinach leaves
  • 2 Tbsp Hemp seeds
  • 1 tsp Matcha (Green tea) powder
  • 1-2" Fresh ginger
  • 3/4 C Coconut water
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Coconut nectar OR liquid sweetener of choice

Instructions

  1. Blend together all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth and creamy.

Notes

* I don't even bother peeling my ginger as my blender just pulverises it down to nothing but if you're not using a high-powered blender you might need to peel and grate it.

      The sun was super frustrating at first when photographing this but I decided to just go with it and actually quite like the effect in the end! 😀

      It’s good for so much more than smoothies too! I grind grains into flours, make creamy soups, nut butters, sauces and more!

    What a great giveaway - and also a great smoothie. I like how you take classic tea flavours and turn them into a creamy cold drink :)

    • Coconut and Berries says

      May 19, 2015 at 9:09 pm

      Glad you like both! I’m crazy about this smoothie at the moment. I always have lemons on the counter and ginger and bananas in the freezer so it’s easy to whip up any time.

    Well you know from my last post that I love my 9400 Froothie blender so this sounds like a great giveaway - and the smoothie sounds wonderful and a good way to wake you up in the morning.

    Thank you Emma for the opportunity to win this :) Fingers and toes are crossed! I thought I’d already commented here about your lovely smoothie - look at that colour! Awesome! Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend :)

      Thank you Vicky! I’m crazy about this smoothie and I use my Froothie blender almost every day - sometimes multiple times so I’m really excited to be able to give one away.

      Good luck!
