With the warmer weather just around the corner, now is a great time to start planning your refreshing drink concoctions! Why not combine some fresh food with an invigorating, healthy smoothie? One of the best ingredients to use has to be the unique flavouring provided by Manuka honey – but what makes it so special?
Manuka contains a chemical called Methylglyoxal (MGO), which has been studied for its effects on gut health and immunity. The delicious treats it creates provides an unforgettable taste/new twist on age-old drinks and provides ongoing support towards better wellness with each sip you take! So, read on for our top three Manuka smoothie recipes for you to enjoy this spring/summer!
Manuka Honey Smoothie Recipes
One of the best things about smoothies (aside from their taste, of course!) is they can be created quickly and easily. As you experiment with ingredients, you just simply place them all into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Easy! And what makes it even better is that it takes little time to do – designed to be served immediately, they take no real planning and can be created on a whim. Ideal, if you just want something nice to drink on a hot day!
