Question: What can you do if a recipe really, really appeals to you but you don’t have all the ingredients?
Answer: Work with what you have, using the recipe as a guide only.
Remember, if you adjust a recipe, the calories will vary because of this, so if that matters to you, you’ll need to recalculate them.
We haven’t lost any nutrients in the remake and have added some protein, healthy fat and greens.
So on that basis turn to the Next Page for my version of the Flu and Stress Buster Orange Smoothie we published recently …
