I try out new recipes every day. But one thing that never changes is my morning smoothie ritual! The summer weather makes me want to drink them even more. Sometimes I have “smoothie days” when all I eat (or rather, drink) are smoothies. It is a great way to feel energized and give your metabolism a break while still consuming some fibre. Smoothies are an ideal way to fuel the body and sustain us as we go about our day.
Here are some of my current favourite recipes.
