Ready...steady...blend!
This raspberry and apple smoothie is a great way to start the day and up your fruit intake.
For such a delicate fruit, raspberries pack a lot of nutrition. They provide potassium, which is essential for heart function, and have been proven to lower blood pressure. They also contain a mineral called manganese, which is necessary for healthy bones and skin and helps regulate blood sugar.
Try not to be deceived by the colour; this smoothie is incredibly sweet and refreshing. The addition of spinach (which is jam-packed full of fibre) gives it its fresh green tint.
Want to make it even greener? Why not add a spoonful of Maca Powder for a natural energy boost.
Have you ever thought of turning your leftover carrots into a smoothie? Simply add orange, ginger and oats for a drink rammed full of vitamin C and antioxidants.
Not a fan of ginger? Why not try adding another spice like nutmeg or cinnamon.
Whether you're stuck on what to have for breakfast or a light snack, this tropical combination of pineapple and banana with lime juice is a refreshing choice!
Using pineapple as the main ingredient helps to make this smoothie rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants.
Keep hydrated with a watermelon smoothie, the perfect refreshing treat to quench your thirst on a warm summer's day.
