Pink Sherbet Smoothie
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
What you see is what you get…this smoothie tastes like pink sherbet! I love finding new ingredients and experimenting. After I blended this concoction and tasted it I was blown away with how much it tasted like sherbet to me and it took me right back to my childhood. My husband’s face said it all too! It’s absolutely delicious and highly recommended of course. Red currants are high in antioxidants and lycopene, which has links to a reduction in heart disease and cancer risk, particularly prostate cancer. These berries are also excellent for vitamin C, K and iron. All the produce can be fresh or frozen.
