I’m kickstarting my year with Alpro AM. The team got in touch with me to see whether I’d be up for creating a smoothie a day for seven days. Always up for a challenge, I said yes and was sent some goodies to get me going.

  • An AlproAM smoothie recipe guide
  • Heston Blumenthal juicer
  • Riverford veg box
  • Origins GinZing energy boosting moisturiser
  • Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity Tracker
  • Burberry nail polish in storm grey and nude beige
  • Plant-power bowl
  • A hamper of Alpro products

 We also went out and bought bags of fruit from Tesco to add to the veggies.

Day 1 recipe

2 x apples

4 x carrots

4 x oranges

12 x raspberries

1" of ginger

1 tbsp of natural yoghurt

1 dash of soya milk

It was a fab way to start my day, knowing that I’d already packed in 5 different types of fruit/veg was a pretty nice feeling. It tasted lovely too - which surprised me as I’d never tried soya milk before.

I’m going to alternate between fruity ones and veg-based ones and try the different varieties of Alpro (original, almond and Hazelnut, sweetened and unsweetend) and see which combinations are winners.

And the juicer was a DREAM to clean! Thanks Heston.
