Seasonal vitamin booster smoothie

Winter is far from over, however here is a delicious smoothie to put a spring back in your step. It's packed with lots of nutrients and vitamins. I have used blood oranges as the base, not only because this is the prefect season for the citrus fruit, but also as they contain 40% more vitamin C than naval oranges, an essential for beating common colds/flu.  By adding Bananas and Spinach into the mix too, this recipe has high levels of vitamin b and potassium. 

Ingredients

1 blood orange 

1/2-1 banana 

4 strawberries

1 handful of raspberries

1 handful of spinach

1/4 cup of water (or almond milk)

Method

Roughly chop the orange, banana (no skin, obviously), strawberries and raspberries and place in jug/blender (I use a hand blender)with the water.  

Blend the fruit together so that they are combined. 

Next add the spinach and continue to blend until you achieve the constancy desired.

Pour out into a glass and enjoy!

Currently battling a cold myself, I am aiming to make one of these each morning until I feel better.
