This smoothie is deliciously citrusy from the fresh tangerines, kiwi and juice. Add to that a creamy smoothness from the nutrient-rich avocado, and a hint of tang from the lemon. In all you have a powerhouse of nutrients: Vitamin C, potassium, healthy fat, fiber, and there’s Vitamin A in abundance too. Avocado fills you quickly and keeps you feeling full, so can help you lose weight as part of a healthy diet plan. Turn to the end of the post if you’re in a hurry to find the recipe.

It comes from Jacqueline Meldrum at TinnedTomatoes, another Scottish blogger I found. She added kiwi to her smoothie and was surprised by its effect …

Boy does it give it a kick! Kiwi are usually sweet with a bit of tang right? Juice it and it becomes a monster that hits you at the back of the throat. Not in an unpleasant way, but it does have a kick. [My son] really didn’t like this one, but I love it!
