We all know the best way to kickstart any day is with a well-balanced breakfast. But, let’s be honest, we don’t always have time to whip up a big breakfast. So, for the busy (or lazy) girl, a healthy smoothie can be a great alternative. Throw a handful of ingredients in the blender and 30 seconds later – bam!– brekkie to go. Ahead, three easy drinks to keep you energised and healthy all day long.
