Sup something super
A nutritious and delicious blend of goodness, smoothies provide energy and nourishment. And because there are countless combinations of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, dairy, herbs and spices, there’s a drink to suit all tastes. For optimum health, try using organic produce where possible and do your bit for the planet by composting waste and replacing plastic straws with paper or stainless steel ones.

Mango chili
Sweet and tropical with a hint of chili heat, this mango chili smoothie will certainly put a spring in your step. The key to this firecracker smoothie is using pure red chili powder (without the addition of other spices), however, you can substitute the chili powder for fresh finely chopped and de-seeded red jalapeños, if you like.

Pomegranate, orange and beetroot
This pomegranate, beetroot and orange smoothie is tart, sweet and tangy – just the ticket to get you raring in the morning. Make sure you don’t overdo it with the beet so it’s still quite fruity. If it doesn’t turn out perfect, simply add more fruit and save half for the next day. A smoothie will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, but be sure to give it a good shake before drinking.
