It doesn’t matter if you are new to making smoothies or have been doing it for years, they are still a great way to get that extra nutrition many of us are missing on a daily basis. Add to that the fact we are getting that nutrition in an easy to use form, early in the day, with delicious flavors and packed with protein to help set yourself up for the day and get us through to lunch. It’s a winner!
I found this recipe at FarmersgirlKitchen.com. Janice, whose recipes come from her Scottish farmhouse kitchen, tells us that someone pointed out that smoothies are …
… a great way of using fruit and veg that are slightly past their best. As a keen ‘no waste’ advocate that made perfect sense to me, particularly when I get a bit over enthusiastic with the ‘buy one get one free’ offers!
