Antioxidants and five-a-day: Start the day with a nutritious smoothie
If you're looking to make some changes to your diet this year – we have the ultimate wellness tip for you.
Everyone knows that home-made, vitamin rich smoothies are a clean and delicious health food, and the benefits of upping your fruit and veggie intake are numerous.
Enriched with phytonutrients, antioxidants and fibre, fruit and veg is the food group we know we should be consuming en masse, but swallowing down another salad sometimes seems seriously unappetising.

From being associated with lower risk of heart disease to helping minimise body inflammation and clearing skin, incorporating a smoothie into your morning routine can be seriously beneficial.
