‘The Youth Elixir’ Smoothie

The smoothie is very rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If you’ve got used to sweet, fruity drinks, you may be a little bit disappointed as far as the flavour is concerned. The smoothie has got quite a sharp taste and some of you may feel as you were eating grass. But, I like grass ... Mooooo!

The elixir of youth? Needles to say, just look at the list of the ingredients!
