The Usual

The Usual – A Perfectly Balanced Nutritious Healthy Fruit And Veg Shake

My usual blend of core fruit and veg ingredients to provide a refreshing healthy nutritious shake rich in Vitamins A, B(B1, B2, B6), C, K, calcium, magnesium, folate, potassium… Perfectly balanced to provide a powerful pick me up, whilst still maintaining a tasteful flavour.

  8. Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop the insides into your blender.
  9. Attach the blender to the rest of it.
  10. Add a tablespoon of MCT Oil
  11. Pour in about half a pint of water into the blender.
  12. Mix until the consistency is smooth and free of any lumps.
  13. Add in about 8 cubes of ice.
  14. Mix it again.
  15. Divide the remaining ice cubes between the number of glasses, or into the storage container (keeps it nice and cool while you drink it).
  16. Pour out the shake as desired.
