Check out the glass: THAT is The Green Smoothie, and it is the favourite health smoothie of Hollywood's finest.

So keen on this wonder drink are Tinseltown's A-listers that they are insisting on having a Vitamix blender in their trailers before they will even consider signing for their next role.

So what goes into the smoothie that fuelled Scarlett Johansson while she was playing Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, in The Avengers Assemble?

Lucky us got to see exactly what gives her those superpowers. We are talking: water, green grapes, chopped pineapple, a small banana, ice, and raw spinach. A quick blitz in the Vitamix, and - bingo! - a glass of pure energy. Delicious.

The Vitamix is pricey at £465, but its auto settings mean you can also use it to blend and cook a hot soup, cocktails, sorbet, batter, vinaigrette and peanut butter.

It even cleans itself: add warm water, liquid soap and switch to self-clean mode. Probably not something that much worries Scarlett, but we were impressed.
