Does chef and vegan cookbook author Rita Serano pull off a balanced plant-based diet? Nutritionist Jenna Hope finds out…
9am BREAKFAST
While making breakfast for my daughter, I have a herbal tea. I drop her at school, then make a smoothie with fruit, greens, lemon juice, ginger and a supplement with algae. At the weekend, a favourite is pancakes with stewed fruit.
JENNA SAYS: Smoothies pack in loads of nutrients, and the greens ensure the sugar content isn’t too high. Green veg are also high in bone-supporting vitamin K, and algae is a great source of plantbased protein and iron, to help carry oxygen round the body.
