Our bodies are amazing creations – even with some of the rubbish we pump into them, they make the best use of it that they can. But when we feed it well with wholesome, nutritious food, it pays us back with glowing skin, hair, nails, bright eyes, clear minds and loads of energy.
Did you know chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, protein, and fiber? And, of course, there is Vitamin C and iron in the kiwi and spinach. “All good things!” says Joy, adding …
It’s like the heavens are shining down on our glass of health.
This smoothie is green without tasting terribly green. It’s thick and sweet thanks to the bananas. The kiwi adds a tartness and mouth-pucker that only kiwi can give provide.
