Now that people are beginning to realise the attributes of fresh fruit and veg more and more they’ve really taken off. The smothie seems to be the perfect way to condense most of the recommended five fruit and vegetables a day into one drink. The main problems however are the price (some supermarket smoothies will set you back around £3.50 a litre) and the freshness of the fruit and veg that’s been smoothified. This is why making your own smothies and juices is the best way to go.
