Smoothie time: winter goodness

After reading Kendall’s post on boosting nutrition, I took another trip to my fruiterer, Joe’s. I enjoyed his recipes last time and this week he had some seasonal ideas for me. With autumn finishing up and winter just beginning, it’s this time of year where I usually get a bit run down and sniffly. Joe has promised me that these are full of vitamins, so I’ve loaded up on these ingredients and I’ve dragged my blender out of that awkward spot in my kitchen cupboard.
