Purple Power Smoothie
The nutritional notes…
The berries and macqui powder give this smoothie its bright and vibrant colour as well as taste. It’s packed full of antioxidants, protein and nutrients to give you a great start to the day or a nourishing afternoon pick-me-up. You can also add a few blackberries and blueberries if you like, too
