Thirst-quenching Thursday
Why not try making your own smoothie? Home-made smoothies are much cheaper than shop bought varieties and you can change the fruit depending on what you have in the fridge / freezer. I can definitely recommend this strawberry one but if you have your own favourite smoothie recipe, please share it with us on ClassDojo.
