After seeing the smoothie Ellie Goulding called a "winner" on Instagram, we knew we had to re-create it on our own. The combination of ingredients might seem a little all over the place, but the result after a blitz in the blender is a refreshing, hydrating, and not too sweet smoothie that's a perfect stand-in for breakfast. High in vitamin B6, protein, and fiber, this tasty smoothie can help stabilize blood sugar and support digestion, making it the perfect recipe for an active woman looking to lose weight in a very delicious way.
