Deliscious Summer Smoothie

Do you find that in summer you start craving beautiful fresh, light and chilled fruits instead of those heavy (and slightly naughty) winter comfort foods? If you're like me and you have a bit of a sweet tooth then this smoothie is perfect for you! It is full to the brim of antioxidants and all the vitamins and minerals that Mother Nature has to offer..

What you'll need-

- 150g strawberries

- 50g frozen mixed berries

- 1 small carton of coconut water (I've      used H2coco)

- 300g of watermelon

- 2 teaspoons of BodySciece imureds antioxidants

- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

- a handful of fresh mint leaves

Smoothies are so quick and easy, all you then need to do is blend!

If it's a warm day I suggest adding some ice cubes to your smoothie to keep it beautiful and cool. As you're drinking it imagine all of those amazing antioxidants entering your body and doing wonders for you.

Enjoy!

Now I'm 3 pairs in and obsessed! How times change and fashion comes back around. There's a lesson to be learnt here... NEVER throw anything out!

This photo really sums up my day to day style. I am all about wearing clothes that keep me super comfortable. I love teaming funky leggings with a baggy shirt or slouchy jumper. I am so drawn to coloured mirrored lenses at the moment and these $15 aviator style sunglasses from cotton on are just perfect!
