The adventurer says that when he’s not travelling, he starts his day with this rather odd smoothie. Expect a very sharp, sour, pip-filled green sorbet that is noisy to make, may well jam your blender (or block your sink), and will almost certainly irritate anyone you live with or near.
Makes one serving
The night before, roughly chop 100g cucumber and 100 broccoli and put in the freezer. The next morning, put the frozen vegetables into a (powerful) blender with half an unwaxed lemon, skin and all, a big thumb of ginger, skin on again, and enough cold water to loosen the whole thing up (75-100ml). Blitz, then use a spatula to scrape the mix down and blitz again.
Repeat a few times until it’s fairly smooth. You can try to pour it into a glass, but it’s easier to eat with a spoon. If you don’t like eating smashed-up lemon pips or bitter pith, grate the zest into the blender, then squeeze in its juice.
