Smoothies are great!

You can drink them on the go, and they do wonders for your health. Unlike juices, smoothies have a higher fibre content and you can tailor the type of drink you like, to suit your body’s needs. Here are some great ideas for 7 Anti-aging and Detox Smoothies that you can drink in the morning, or after a strenuous workout session.

My 7 Anti-aging and Detox Smoothies are:

Surfboard Abs

Rich in digestion supporting ingredients, this smoothie will help prevent bloating and digestive stress that can sabotage your tummy flattening efforts.

Antioxidants in berries are known to help to fight wrinkles and other skin ageing signs. Berries are also a great way to control blood sugar that can sabotage your complexion. This smoothie also contains Omega 3, to fight inflammation, as well as vitamins E and C, both renown to help the skin.
