How do you start off your morning?

he packed, contemporary calendar does not always leave room for healthy eating. Between the dozens of mails you need to get through, your kid who needs new shoes and the family function you need to attend, it’s not always simple to find time to cut up a salad or prepare a nutritious home-cooked meal.

Breakfast is an incomparably important meal. The body wakes up hungry for energy after a long night’s sleep, and without a nourishing meal most of us would be tempted to drink something high in sugar and caffeine. A great way to start the day off on the right foot is with a green shake; quick and easy to make, and packed full of nutritious ingredients.
