Emily English, known online as Em the Nutritionist, has created a smoothie recipe ideal for battling the winter blues. The recipe uses Vita Coco coconut water as the smoothie base instead of water as it contains electrolytes including potassium, sodium and manganese - as well as vitamin C.
Emily said: "Coconut water is naturally hydrating, packed with electrolytes to replenish your body, and contains vitamin C to support immunity, which is especially important in winter.
Pineapple adds even more vitamin C and bromelain to aid digestion. Chia seeds are a great energy source of fibre and omega-3s, and desiccated coconut adds healthy fats. Coconut water is the clear, naturally occurring liquid found inside young, green coconuts. It is different from coconut milk, which is made from the grated flesh of mature coconuts. Coconut water is packed with essential nutrients and electrolytes.
