I love smoothies. Have you noticed? I barely mention it right? What about green smoothies? Yeh I ADORE them too. Smoothies are just so handy, I make one when I need a snack or just before I go to bed so that I can stick it in the fridge and grab it first this for breakfast. My favourite two things about smoothies are:
- Speedy snack that’s right, it takes roughly 5 minutes to transform a pile of fruit and veg into a healthy smoothie, what more could you ask for?
- Vitamins oh hell yeh, if you’re putting vegetables into your smoothie along with some fruit, possibly some fruit juice, then you’re going to get a good hit of vitamins, usually a ton of vitamin c.
