Make my day - with a juice or smoothie

I love juices and smoothies.

Almost every morning I make myself a smoothie or juice for breakfast.

I don't really follow a recipe now. I just mix what I have of fruit and vegetables in the blender or juicer. But I do have this great book about juices and smoothies that I always used in the beginning.

Inside the book '101 Fantastic Juices and Smoothies' by Natalie Savona you can also see what kind of nutrients you get by drinking all the different juices and smoothies.
