We love a blender. It’s a super quick way to get gorgeous nutritious veggies into your body in no time! The only important thing we recommend is that you use the best local, fresh, organic vegetables. We use Riverford. They have local farms around the country and deliver them weekly in a box, sometimes grubby and always plastic free!
