A smoothie packed with vitamins is a fantastic way to start the day, and a great pick-me-up later in the afternoon. Smoothies can satisfy your sweet cravings when made the right way, and can be brimming with antioxidants. By making smoothies yourself, you can steer clear of unhealthy sweeteners and the extra calories smoothie shops will sometimes pack in.

Simply follow our ‘base’ or ‘base green’ smoothie recipes to create your very own balanced smoothie. Don’t be afraid to experiment, either!
