Marshmallow Smoothie

Ok, so this smoothie doesn’t contain any marshmallows but its colour reminds my of the treat I use to indulge in as a kid. What I can confirm is that this smoothie is jam packed with nutrients and the  benefits certainly override the humble marshmallow. Just trick the kids into thinking it’s a vanilla milkshake. Fill them up on the good stuff!
