When you begin to introduce more conventional foods into your diet, you can still enjoy a nutritious smoothie, but now with the option of adding in more fresh fruit along with skimmed milk or fat-free yoghurt, to make a more substantial drink.
For those on a vegan diet, you can easily adapt the recipe by using plant-based milk and leaving out the honey, using another type of sweetener instead – when you’re tracking your daily calorie intake, just remember to adjust the calorie count for any changes you make.
