“As a holistic health coach
(calmawellness.com), my
goal is to help people improve
their diet and eating habits.
This smoothie is packed with
antioxidants, potassium and
fibre and is a great way to start
your morning. By blending the
fruits you are kick-starting the digestive process
so your body doesn’t need to use up as much
energy to break down the fibre – it’s great for
people who feel a bit queasy first thing in the
morning.”
