If you’d ask me to describe this smoothie in one word, I’d probably say this – Phytonutrients! Due to using different types of plants, this yellow smoothie is literally packed with different types of phytonutrients (antioxidants included). This immediately translates into numerous health benefits, especially when this smoothie is consumed fresh and when made using organic plants (optionally though).

What are phytonutrients, you may ask? Phytonutrients are special plant compounds found in all types of plants. There are many different types of phytonutrients (thousands) and when it comes to health benefits, it’s worth saying that phytonutrients work synergistically.

In a nutshell, phytonutrients help each other work better inside your body, providing even more health benefits when combined. This is a major reason for consuming different kinds of whole foods or serving nutrient-rich smoothies like this one.

Due to using freshly-made macadamia milk, this smoothie must be stored in a refrigerator at all times, making sure to consume it in max 2 days (ideally 1 day).

For this recipe you’ll be using mandarins with skin. Make sure to use organic mandarins or, in case of using conventionally grown mandarins, remove their skin prior to using in the blender. This is because conventionally grown citrus fruits may be sprayed with pesticides that will remain in the skin even after washing.

This Green Juice Recipe Changed My Life

Minimal prep. We just need a few minutes to dice the leeks and toss in olive oil and herbs. Then air fry for fun crispy leeks!

Use herbs of your choice. If you like to use a pre-prepared herb mix it will work so well, or grab an individual dried herb from the pantry.

Wash and prepare the leeks. Slice the root and the dark green leaves off the leeks. Wash well, making sure to remove any dirt in between the leaves. Pat dry, then dice into small rounds, about half an inch thick (image 1).

Nutribullet Recipes (not Smoothies!)

Recipe tip: on a recipe test I diced the leeks a little thicker, about an inch or so. While they were tasty, they became a little overly browned on the edges but not quite tender in the centre. Dicing to about half an inch works best I suggest for lightly crispy frizzled leeks!

Season the leeks. Add the leeks to a bowl and drizzle on olive oil. Sprinkle over the mixed herbs, garlic powder, salt and black pepper (if using). Use your hands to coat the leeks in the oil herb mixture (image 2).

Air fry the leeks. Tip the leeks into your air fryer basket in an even layer, with a little space between them. Air fry for 6-10 minutes at 375F / 190C, shaking the basket after 4-5 minutes. Check the leeks, looking for crispy light brown edges, and continue to air fry in 2-3 minute intervals to the texture you like (image 3).

Leek, Fennel, Celery & Apple Soup

Cooked leeks have a mild sweet flavor, and a hint of onion. They can easily be flavored with herbs, spice or garlic.

The flavorful parts of a leek are the light green and white parts. Use a knife to remove the root and the dark green leaves, which are tougher in texture. You can use the darker green leaves to make vegetable stock if you like.

Wash off any excess dirt, then top and tail the leeks, removing the root and dark green leaves. Hold under the tap and separate the leaves so you remove any dirt in between them. This tutorial on prepping leeks by Abel and Cole is helpful!
