We’re now paying attention to our health more than ever.
It’s so, so important that we keep our bodies in good shape.
Among many other things, that means getting a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
These smoothies are a great way to pack in loads of nutrients with minimal fuss, so there’s no excuse.
Here’s what you need to know:
- We use spinach, orange and berries as they’re anti-oxidising and full of vitamin C.
- Turmeric is known for its anti inflammatory properties.
- Almonds and sunflower seeds are a great source of vitamin E.
