A boost of vitamins

I was delighted when I ripped off the gold and red wrapping paper on Christmas day and uncovered a blender! I'm sure it isn't everyone's cup of tea but I'd had my heart set on getting one for ages so I was as happy as Larry! Starting the day with a boost of vitamins is in line with my quest for a healthy 2016 and so although I don't usually follow the crowd, I'm happily jumping on the bandwagon and joining the green juice craze!
