Super Smoothies

I think that Smoothies make a great breakfast; they can be really healthy (depending on the ingredients!) and super quick to make if you are in a rush in the mornings. There are so many combinations you can try and, as always, experimentation is key – let yourself go, live a little! These are four of my favourites:
