Chikku otherwise known as sapota is a tasty fruit rich in calories.The wide array of vitamins and minerals and antioxidants makes it an amazing choice for a healthy glowing skin. This delicious fruit, when mixed with banana, a fruit with similar qualitites and high fibre, makes a rich drink, which replenishes energy and revitalises body...A little mango juice and ginger juice, added to it makes it vibrant.

Refreshing, healthy, satisfying.

This is a really delicious and filling breakfast smoothie, one to try if you're a fan of more exotic flavours.A few weeks back, I finally took the plunge and ordered a NutriBullet. After seeing so many tempting instagram snaps and Pinterest recipes, I couldn't resist. About the same time, the Almond Board of California got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to take their 21-day Snack Happy Challenge (http://www.almonds.co.uk/snack-happy-challenge). The stars had aligned perfectly.I've been snacking on a handful of almonds every day this month, and including them in my favourite smoothie recipes.Why almonds?• A handful of almonds (30g) provide approximately 65% of your daily requirement of vitamin E.• Almonds are a high source of fibre, are packed with healthy, unsaturated fats and are a natural source of protein.• Almonds are rich in calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.• Almonds are a high source of magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.• Almonds provide linoleic acid, which contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.• Just a handful of these noble nuts is all you need to up your daily nutrient intake. Pop them in your handbag to snack on-the-go in your moments of need.
