Strawberry mint vitamin rush

Vitamin-rich energy drink

Just the colour of this vivid red juice should wake you up and put a smile on your face! Rich in beta-carotene, folic acid, biotin, vitamin C, minerals and small amounts of B vitamins, this juice not only tastes fantastic but will make you feel alert and ready to take on the world.  With high levels of potassium and anti-oxidants and more vitamin C than citrus fruit by weight, strawberries may even help prevent cancer and heart disease. 

Method

1. Put everything into the blender and whiz until smooth.

2. Pour into two long glasses and decorate with a couple of mint leaves.
