We’ve all been there – the blender comes out for a week or two before being banished to the back of a cupboard and never seen again. It’s time to get it back out again though because with plenty of nutrients to fuel your swim and accelerate your recovery, a smoothie is a fantastic and refreshing option during the summer months. Managing to get the right consistency and taste can sometimes be a bit of a challenge when blending up at home, but with these two delicious recipes your smoothies will never fail to taste great and make you feel great too!
