Digestive enzyme shake

James Bond’s not impressed by the prolytic digestive enzyme shake that the barman serves him at the Hoffler Klinik in Spectre (2015). “Do me a favour, will you?” he asks the barman. “Throw that down the toilet and cut out the middleman.” Having had such delights as potassium broth and dandelion tea at Shrublands health farm, Bond’s evidently learnt his lesson.

Still, while its muddy green colour doesn’t entirely appeal, the shake’s no doubt full of good, healthy stuff, and worth a try. To recreate the drink, I’ve adapted a recipe by TikTokker Annie Kelly. The recipe includes spinach and kiwis, which are apparently rich in digestive enzymes and would explain the colour of Bond’s drink. The result isn’t exactly a taste sensation, but one feels it’s at least doing one some good.

Serves 2-3

  • 3 kiwis
  • 1 stick celery
  • Handful baby spinach leaves
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 400ml water

Peel and chop the kiwis and finely chop the celery stick. Put both in a blender. Add the spinach leaves, lemon juice and water. Blend the ingredients to create a thick, smooth, liquid. Pour into glasses and serve.
