Acai berries<\/a> contain amino acids which help promote muscle performance, energy production, endurance and strength. Acai berries contain as much vitamin C as blueberries and is also a source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and E. It is also a source of calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passion fruit is despite its size full of goodies. It’s high in A and C vitamins, a good source of fibre and rich in antioxidants.

Blood oranges are, hence the name, red inside with a reddish-orange outer peel. The red colour comes from anthocyanins<\/em>, the same element that makes blackberries blue\/black and red cabbage red. Anthocyanins are not only pigments but powerful antioxidants which we just can’t get enough of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peaches are packed with antioxidants and vitamins. So many I hardly know where to start. A, B, C, E and K are just some of the many vitamins. Other than these, they’re rich in fibre and potassium which helps your digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bananas. we all know bananas. An excellent snack throughout the whole day. Bananas rank low to medium on the glycemic index (the so-called GI-index) meaning they won’t cause your blood sugar to spike. Meaning: bananas can help moderate blood sugar levels after meals and may reduce appetite by slowing stomach emptying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Vitamin Rich Peachy Smoothie<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t
  • 1 blood orange<\/li>
  • 2 handful frozen banana, cut into pieces<\/li>
  • 1 peach<\/li>
  • 1 passion fruit<\/li>
  • 1 cup brewed green tea* ((I used one with quince but you can use whatever mild flavour you'd like))<\/li>
  • 2 tbsp coconut yoghurt<\/li>
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder<\/li>
  • 1 tbsp acai berry powder<\/li>
  • A big sprinkle of coconut flakes\/shredded coconut<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t

    1. Easy peachy.<\/p>

      Simply mix it all and blend well in a blender. <\/p><\/li>

    2. * Let the tea cool down slightly before adding it to the mix to avoid a, a boiling hot smoothie. And b, hot liquids can create pressure in a blender and "explode".<\/p><\/li>

    3. Serve in tall glasses with ice or alternatively pour into clean, rinsed bottles and keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Perfect on the go as well. <\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
