If you are making our smoothies with all fruit and fruit juice you are getting simple sugars which your body can readily use and burn off. Processed and preserved smoothies may be made with additives such as corn syrup that are complex sugars, these are much harder for your body to break down. Another example of why reading the ingredients is so important.

The organic versus conventional farming argument is a bit flawed here. Most of our E Coli outbreaks are linked to manure being used in conventional farming as well as run off from farms.

I used crumbs from gf homemade bread but I'm sure it would work with the shop bought varieties - I know Helen stocks a good variety. Hi girls

Gluten free - now you've got me thinking ... how about cornmeal or just breadcrumbs from one of the gluten free breads? Beware the sausagemeat too if using it, most contain wheat.
