COFFEE & DATE SMOOTHIE

I think smoothies are such a great go-to breakfast option but often we overdo it with the fruit and end up having a very high sugar content breakfast which wreaks havoc with our insulin levels and hunger throughout the day.  This is a great combination of flavours that really starts the day off well.  Pack a protein snack for mid-morning and you’ll be set for a great day!
