Smoothies are a great way to start your morning. They are an easy way to boost your fruit and vegetable intake for the day and are packed full of nutrients and fibre. Be sure to blend your smoothies well, drink them slowly and although it may sound funny, make sure to chew your smoothies before swallowing! Chewing your smoothies ensures full breakdown of the food particles which maximises nutrient absorption in the gut!
Now onto the recipe! This recipe makes about 2 serves so feel free to share half with your loved one or save the rest for a snack later in the day!
