Apple

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Well, they’re a great source of dietary fibre which aids your digestive system. And rich in vitamin C too which is good for your immune system. But apples aren’t just good for your health – they add a delightful crispness and natural sweetness to your smoothie too.

Banana

Bananas provide a creamy texture to your smoothie while supplying an instant boost of energy. They’re a great source of potassium, which is essential for maintaining proper heart and muscle function.

Raspberries

Raspberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins. These tiny powerhouses add a burst of vibrant colour and a refreshing tartness to your smoothie.
