Delicious Drinks Recipes
Pomegranate is a 'superfood', packed with antioxidants which support a healthy heart and have anti-ageing properties, protecting cells from free-radical damage. Oranges, kiwis and berries are all rich sources of vitamin C which supports the immune system and firms the skin. Unripe bananas provide special fibre that helps protect the gut wall and feeds healthy gut bacteria, which are vital for supporting your digestion and encouraging stable blood sugar. Drinking fruit juice regularly lowers the risk of heart disease.
