TOP TEN SMOOTHIE RECIPES
Smoothies are a great way to get nutrients and minerals into your body. Because the ingredients in a smoothie are broken down initially in a blender, they are easier for the body to digest, which means that you absorb all the good stuff!
Smoothies are appropriate in many situations – from breakfast or a snack-replacement, through to post-exercise smoothies and high-protein smoothies containing almond butter. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or simply looking for a nutritional boost, there’s a smoothie here for you!
