A way to start your day - #1

With the long Summer days finally here, you'll want to start your day with a light, nutritious and fruity breakfast.

Even if you go on to have something else, it's really important that you eat fruit on an empty stomach! This is because fruit is digested very quickly- typically within 40 mins. If you eat your fruit after a meal of say for example dairy (which takes up to 5 hours to digest) it will just sit, fermenting, creating gas and leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable...nice!

Today I chose Strawberries and Peaches and a Coldpress Raw Smoothie.

Strawberries contain vitamins and minerals - A, B, C, E, beta-carotene, folic acid, calcium, potassium, iron, sodium, magnesium, zinc, selenium and copper. These can help: Fight infection, help with depression and are good for your skin, hair and nails.

Peaches contain Vitamins and minerals, A, B3, C, Beta-carotene, folic acid, calcium, selenium, zinc, iron, copper, silicon.  These can help: Fight disease, are good for your hair, teeth and nails, and are good for your bladder and kidneys.

I've also been loving Coldpress raw smoothies and today I've chosen - Mango & Passionfruit - delicious!
