Original recipe of the week: Great start smoothie

Super charge your body for the day with our yummy savoury smoothie. Fresh, nutritious and oh so green – you’ll feel good just looking at it. The fresh combination of choy sum, chives and lime juice give this coconut water-based smoothie an added oriental feel. If you like your smoothie a little creamier, simply add in a tablespoon of soy yoghurt.
