'LET'S-CELEBRATE-SPRING, SMOOTHIE, Healthy, Vegetarian

A refreshing smoothie which ticks all the boxes - it's got fruit, vegetables and protein. There's no added sugar.  And it is ever-so appealing and tasty - especially when the sun is shining. 

A tasty, filling smoothie that's good for you.

The smoothie is not sweet in the normal way but it has lovely layers of flavour and a healthy balance of fruit, green veg, fibre and protein.  It is very satisfying. Blood sugar should remain stable.   

It's as easy to make as all smoothies - fling everything into a smoothie maker and blitz.
