    Whatever your preference for when you like to have your smoothie, this blueberry apple smoothie gives you a good shot of vitamin C, adds to your daily fibre requirements and contains valuable antioxidants.

    We all know we should be eating lots more fruit and vegetables than we do. But it's not easy is it?

    We’re told on a daily basis about the health benefits of eating as much, or at least 5 portions (some nutritionists promote 7) per day.

    Studies show, and indeed if you go by the Mediterranean diet, that I love, there is definitely truth and evidence to show that adopting such a lifestyle help to lower the level and risk of heart disease and cancer.

    This blueberry apple smoothie can also help to get you there.

    The baobab powder in this blueberry apple smoothie (which you should be able to find in your local health food store) adds an additional 12 minerals and vitamins including calcium, iron, manganese and potassium.

    You can read about why you need those vital elements on a daily basis vitamins and minerals.

    If you’re not eating enough fruit and vegetables daily, to get your daily vitamin and mineral requirements, adding a teaspoon of this superfood powder can help.

    However, leaving it out will not change the delicious taste of the smoothie, it will only lower the nutritional content.

        Thank you Lindsay. I know how hard you work on your food photographs too, so your comments make me feel much more confident about this particular recipe's set of photographs. 🙂

      Wait - Neil - you think you need to go to "smoothie photography school"??? Bwahaha - that's funny - these photos are absolutely fabulous - in fact, I wish they weren't so good because then I could just mosey on through WITHOUT the need to slurp the smoothie through my screen! 🙂

        Aw, thank you Shashi. 😀

        I'm so glad you liked the smoothie recipe and that you think the photos are good. I think I've probably gone and looked at too many other smoothie recipe photographs from other sites, and probably over compared mine to those ones. Mental note - must not compare my work to other peoples work. Everyone sees things differently. Thanks again . 🙂

      I actually think you have great photos here, but I have also struggled with smoothies before, too. I think because the texture changes the longer it sits, you need to make sure the top of the glass is clean, etc. I've learned that smaller glasses (and dishes in general) are easier to photograph!

        Thanks Meghan. I think you are right about the texture changing the longer it sits, you've got to be quick to photograph smoothies haven't you?

        After reading a photography article the other day, I'm in agreement with you that smaller glasses and dishes in general are the way forward. I'll be keeping that in mind from now on! 🙂
