Five Ways to Five-a-Day
You need never be unhealthy again!
So, Summer is creeping slowly and frankly, rainily (is that a word??) to our doorstep once more and I for one have started the annual ‘oh lord, I’d better start eating a bit better so I can fit in those shorts’ thoughts. Not only that, but I live in endless cycles, of ‘I must eat more healthily’ followed by ‘oh, I’m too tired, I don’t care – I’m getting pizza‘. I actually LOVE fruit and veg so I really have very little excuse not to get my five-a-day, and yet… somehow I very often don’t!
My ‘Five Ways to Five a Day’ series attempts to offer a few friendly tips on how we can all make life a little easier and a little healthier for ourselves. Plus, it’s my opportunity to present to you my FIRST ever vlog – you have no idea what technical hoops I (and my patient hubby) had to jump through, manoeuvre around, upload and reformat…
So, without further ado, I bring to you, Smoothie Packs – and I’m not talking facials here…
Enjoy, be kind, like and share! 😉
No. 1: Smoothie Packs
Five smoothie packs, so that you have a quick, healthy start to the day from Monday to Friday. No muss, no fuss.
The five smoothies that I’ve chosen were aimed to use the same selection of fruits so that you’re not going out and buying a million fruits and letting loads go to waste. The great thing with smoothie packs though, is you can just chuck in what you fancy!

Top Tip: to get extra goodness in there, why not pop in a handful of green leaves, like spinach or kale?
