My favourite smoothie and shake recipes

Smoothies and shakes are a fantastic way of getting fruit and veggies into your body quickly and easily. If you’ve been reluctant to try a green smoothie because you’re worried about how the ‘green’ will taste, don’t worry!

Spinach is the best green vegetable to add to a smoothie, as it has a very mild flavour. You really only taste the fruit, trust me!

Don’t be afraid to play around with flavours and ingredients to suit your taste, and you’ll soon have your own shortlist of favourites.
