5 smoothie recipes to help put some bounce in your day

I love a good smoothie. Sometimes you just can't beat chucking a heap of fruit and veggies into a blender to be rewarded with a marvelous taste sensation. 

I normally have a smoothie at breakfast time (as or with breakfast - depending on how hungry I'm feeling) or as a morning snack. Too much fruit in the afternoon is not a good idea, all that good sugar will have you buzzing through the night. Try to keep smoothies or juices to a morning time treat.

I've been mixing up different fruit varieties for a while and have got 5 smoothie for you today that I think you'll enjoy.
