METHOD

Peel and coarsely chop the banana and orange. Peel the apple, cut it into quarters, remove the core, and roughly chop it. In a food processor, combine all of the fruit chunks and the spinach.

Peel and finely grate the ginger and combine it with the lemon juice, baobab and moringa powders (if using), and linseed oil in a food processor. Blend the ingredients until smooth, then add 16fl oz. (500ml) water and mix briefly again. Pour into small bottles and chill for 1–2 hours. Alternatively, chill it in a vacuum flask and serve one portion at a time.
