I have a penchant for soothing fruit smoothies, especially for breakfast. They used to be a staple part of my lunch when I worked in London, so who knows how much I paid into the coffers of Innocent Drinks? With a turnover of £100 million a year, and sales of 2 million drinks a day, Innocent Drinks certainly seem to have got the formula right. But for those of us without a nearby stockist, or lacking a bottomless wallet, I propose an alternative! You see, there’s nothing complicated about making a smoothie, you just bung some fruit in a blender and then pour it into a glass. If you were to buy a smoothie every day, it would probably cost you over £600 a year. Shell out £30 for a blender and buy whatever fruit is going cheaply on the market or the bargain counter at the supermarket, however, and you could be whizzing up a saving of about £300! Sure, you will have to do a bit of washing up, but think of all the plastic bottles you will save and the fun you can have dreaming up new combinations. The Sunday special in this household today was blackcurrant, banana and pear - delicious!
