Simple Morning Smoothie

I made this on a Monday morning to kick-start me on planning for a food retreat. It packs a real nutritious punch and takes 5 minutes to make.  If you are a smoothie fan, always make sure you aim to get a good balance of fruit to veg, or more veg than fruit, as fruit combinations can be packed with sugar. Choose fruit that has a lower sugar content like berries and avoid off the shelf products that are almost always full of sugar!
