If you’re an on the go Mom that never stops, Smoothies will become your new best friend. They’re quick and easy to make, but taste amazing.
What You’ll Need
Go shopping and grab every different coloured fruit (and veg) that you can find.
Buy a few different fruit juices, and any cream and yogurt that you may want to mix with it.
Most importantly, you’ll need a blender to mix everything up! Blender Friend points out that everyone has their own needs and uses (a blender isn’t just for smoothies!), so it’s important to choose what will benefit you the most.
