Apple Goji Chia Smoothie
And so they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Even better if they are organic apples.
For this particular recipe, we have specially chosen Granny Smith apples as they are not only lower in sugar, but also higher in pectin, a soluble fibre which acts as a prebiotic to improve gut health.
This smoothie also uses goji, which supports kidney, liver and lung health, and are a great addition to boost the whole immune system.
To give a longer lasting fullness, chia seeds are added for protein and it comes with all nine essential amino acids and contributes to heart health.
