Cashew & açai

berry smoothie

bowl V / GF / DF

Smoothies are a super, simple fast

track to flavour and nourishment.

The wonder berry açai has

delicious fruity, almost red-wine

notes with chocolate overtones,

is packed full of micronutrients,

and contains almost double the

antioxidants of blueberries.
