Sunshine Smoothie
Serves 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
For those lacking in Vitamin D this winter, why not try Dualit’s Sunshine Smoothie recipe to brighten up the morning. Vitamin D helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphate – essential minerals that are important for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. For many, the primary source of Vitamin D is from exposure to sunlight. However, the Winter months bring shorter days, longer nights and low temperatures meaning one is not outside as often to take in sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. This Sunshine Smoothie is sure to give a much needed boost all in a tasty drink!
