Green Breakfast Smoothie with Raw Honey

Of course he always adds raw honey as it rounds off the flavours, mellows any bitterness from the greens (especially kale) and is the only unrefined sweetener that does you good. Raw honey has over 200 health-promoting enzymes and minerals so worth adding to your morning routine.

Here’s his latest favourite green smoothie recipe. It’s nutritious, filling and a deliciously smooth texture and very easy to drink. He adds kiwi fruit for its taste and the high vitamin C content. The golden ones are sweeter so just add a bit more honey if you use the green ones.
