It is Nutrition and Hydration Week.
Ion and Aspire Support Workers at the Poppy Dementia Day Support in Salford have been busy serving up yummy smoothies and lots of alternative hydrating choices each day.
Ion did a great job at helping to make the smoothies and an even better job of drinking it and making sure there was nothing left in the glass!
Many of us find it difficult to eat our five a day. If you are one of us, smoothies are a delicious drink that contribute to your 5 a day and can boost your health in many ways, from hydration to digestion.
Ion has shared with us his favourite smoothie recipe, why don’t you give it a try, it is quick, simple, and easy!
