My mum’s neighbour passed away from widespread cancer. In her final days, my mum made her these smoothies – which were easy to drink and digest, yet super delicious.

Even on the days she could only drink part of the shake, her smile of delight as she tasted them lit up the room.

To make these you need a MagicBullet or NutriBullet blender, or of course a Vitamix or other high-powered blender would work well too.
