Choco-pomegranate Smoothie

A perfect breakfast option for new mums or anyone struggling to find time to eat a nutritious breakfast; also a great post-workout blend. Packed with healing anti-oxidant vitamin C, magnesium for healthy nervous & hormonal system and to relax hard-worked, tight muscles; this smoothie also provides Protein + Good Fats + Fibre, the perfect recipe for steady blood sugar levels. Pomegranate has been found to naturally raise oestrogen levels, which helps new mums with energy levels, moods and healing while supporting a healthy milk supply for their newborn baby. Collagen is essential for building & repairing tendons, ligaments, fascia and tissue as well as healthy hair, nails and maintaining skin elasticity for a more youthful look so an ideal supplement for recovering new mums, those who train hard or recovering from injury or anyone wanting to feel & look young! (Vegetarians and vegans can use a good quality, clean vegetarian protein powder instead; good brands include Pulsing and Sun Warrior).

And It tastes just like a chocolate milkshake so what’s not to like!
