These 3 warming smoothies are like a warm hug on a chilly morning

When it’s cold outside, often a warm drink is just what you need! And you might not have realised it, but our Healthy Mummy Smoothies taste just as good warm as they do cold!

These 3 are our faves here at Healthy Mummy HQ, as they combine the good-for-you ingredients that you know and love with what feels like a (dare we say) warm hug at the same time.

Enjoy the smoothies as a meal on their own, or as part of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
