Healthy Hints

You don’t need to be a genius to recognise that this drink has a lot of sugar and calories. But when you need an energy boost, it is far better to reach for this banana and strawberry energiser than grabbing a chocolate bar. And there’s no added sugar — all the sweetness comes naturally from the fruits.
