As you might have noticed, we like to post about our smoothies which we make on a daily basis, well almost daily basis. Recipes are a either made up by us or from tried and tested sources. Last week’s best smoothie was courtesy of our MD, Bob. A devine tasting mix of lime, mango, passion fruit, cucumber and blue berries. Ok it’s not got any veg in it so it’s not as healthy as some, in terms of sugar content, but it does taste amazing. If memory serves me correctly... Read More
