Digestion-enhancing smoothie
Mango lassi

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 yoghurt

100ml skimmed milk

½tbsp rose water

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

Why it works

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

Whatever your fitness aims, we've got a smoothie for you.
