Top 10 Nutrient Packed Smoothie Juices!

I couldn't help it, I have become one of those Juice and Smoothie addicts!  They just taste so good and have given me so much energy and nutrients which lets face it have been very low prior to the start of Winter. Having a juice or smoothie each day has helped me feeling fitter to exercise, less tired and healthier through and through. A good balance of fruit and vegetables definitely provides a good balance when eating in moderation and assists with getting the right amount of vegetables into the system each day.

I also have a slight iron deficiency so I have always been advised to eat lots of iron nutrient vegetables combined with vitamin c... apparently one needs the other to work in the system.  For that reason you will notice lots ingredients such as spinach, kale and beetroot added with a combination of vitamin c rich fruits to most of my juices and smoothies.

I have been getting lots of positive comments on the Instagram photo's so I thought I would post my top 10 favorite juice and smoothie combo's to the blog.
