Digestion-enhancing smoothie

This smoothie will reduce bloating and help your body to break down fat and repair itself after exercise

What’s in it

Flesh of ½ a ripe mango

1 small pot of natural yogurt

100ml skimmed milk

½tbsp rose water (optional)

Crushed unsalted pistachios (don’t blend – sprinkle on top to serve)

How it works

Mango’s digestion enzyme, papain, will help your body absorb protein and essential nutrients, while the betacarotene will fight the free-radical damage caused by exercise. As well as protein, the yogurt supplies probiotics, which can boost the metabolism and reduce bloating. The calcium from the milk and yogurt will stimulate the mechanisms in your cells that break down fat. The good fats found in pistachios increase your feeling of fullness; also they have a high potassium-to-sodium ratio which is going to help regulate your metabolism so you don’t suffer hunger pangs.

I love this one so enjoy and let me know what you think
