Raspberry and Pomegranate Smoothie is a divinely delicious thick pink smoothie that is dairy-free, rich and creamy with a lovely natural sweetness. It contains a solid whack of fibre and is jam-packed with phytonutrients and antioxidants from the raspberries which are also regarded as anti-inflammatory. The flax seeds provide daily requirements of omega 3’s and actually contain more than about 3 times the omega 3’s (ALA) compared to omega 6. Flax seeds have been known to improve dry flaky skin through their fatty acids. Taste wise, this is one of my favourite smoothies and I always feel good when I have it.
