Purslane Yogurt Green Smoothie
A refreshing, nutrient-dense green smoothie that pairs the lemony, peppery crunch of fresh purslane with creamy Greek yogurt and sweet tropical fruit. This omega-3 rich beverage is the perfect revitalizing breakfast or post-workout recovery drink.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh purslane thick stems removed, thoroughly washed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness and chill
- 1 large banana ripe, preferably frozen for texture
- 0.5 cup coconut water or plain filtered water for consistency
- 1 tbsp honey optional, or maple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated for a zesty kick
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the earthy green flavors
Notes
For the best texture, serve immediately while icy cold. If you find purslane too earthy, you can swap half of it for baby spinach. Store leftovers in an airtight glass jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural—just shake well before drinking.
