The Smoothie is my Defence Against the Dark Arts, when the see-saw of energy and emotions, sleepless nights, and ageing generally gets in the way of my feeling fabulous. Last year we moved endlessly, living out of suitcases in various flats and a caravan, with everything but the bare essentials in storeage. But I took my trusty blender everywhere with me and I am so glad I stuck to my guns on this one.

For a morning kick start and smooth ride through your day, put these into your blender:

200ml milk ( a mix of soya & coconut is my favourite, but use goat, cow, etc)

1 chopped banana

2 tsp Green Lightning (see above – with power-packed superfoods and oceanic algae like spirulina, chlorella, and Pacific kelp, Green Lightning delivers energizing, purifying nutrients for vibrant, exhilarating health and vitality. Algae are nature’s superfood indeed.)

2 tbsp live yoghurt (soya, goat, cow, etc)

Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries - raspberries, blueberries, etc. (Frozen gives a very cool smoothie, both temperature and colour!)

Now whizz with abandon, and drink BOTH glasses or you won’t make it to lunchtime. (If you have teenage daughters, make double the quantity. Trust me …. I’m a yoga teacher….)

If you refuse to be levered out of your toast-and-marmalade habit, at least get some Sun Chlorella. You’ll be so glad you did.
