When you want to give your body some love, try these green smoothies to start your day on a healthy note. Naturally-occurring in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants smoothies give you plenty of energy to get you through the winter waves, no need for coffee. Easy and quick, our green morning picks cover daily servings of fruits and vegetables. We love to pop to the Jam Jar in Newquay for a healthy juice but if you can’t get there then try some of your own. They’re easy to do and there’s no better way to start the day!
