Tomorrow, Friday 13th November (unlucky for some!) is World Kindness Day! How cool is that?

While I love my green smoothies and have one nearly every day, I do like to mix it up so I don’t get bored. Step forward smoothie bowls which are thicker and can be eaten with a spoon (how’s that for changing things up!). One of my favourite smoothie bowls to have is an acai […]
