Peach Avocado Smoothie
A medium peach has almost 10 percent of your recommended daily fibre (leave the skin on for the most benefit), and the stone fruit is also a great source of vitamin C. Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fat.

Mango is a standard sweet-lassi ingredient, but we’ve come up with a version that takes advantage of all the seasonal rhubarb. (If you find it too tart, up the honey.) It’s pretty enough to serve for dessert, and also makes for a perfect snack or breakfast smoothie.
