1. Apple Cider Vinegar
This can feel like a very strange thing to drink but a small amount every day is actually extremely good for you. Apple Cider Vinegar has become very popular to help weight loss and to reduce the risk of diabetes. Holistic practitioner Toby Maguire from
The BodyHoliday in St. Lucia recommends apple cider vinegar as a super food, find out more:

2. Fruit Juices
Fruit is full of vitamin C and with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice you are not just eating one orange but more like 4 or 5. So try and have a glass a morning to help rid your body of viruses and boost your immune system.
3. Vegetable Juices
Vegetable juice is an extremely good drink to have and if possible swap with fruit juices because a glass of carrot juice will have half the calories as a glass of orange juice. Vegetables are full of nutrients and rich in fibre so will help you feel full up for longer. So in the morning juice together your favourites for a healthy morning beverage.
4. Smoothies
For a lovely, thick fruity treat in the morning mix up a combination of your favourite fruits in a blender with some skimmed milk (or even soya or coconut milk can be added). You get a good morning boost of vitamin C, but remember don't add extra sugar or honey as this can add a lot of calories.
5. Milk
Having skimmed or semi-skimmed milk with your cereal or as a glass in the morning with your breakfast will help the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates in the body. It is also a good source of vitamin b2 (riboflavin) which is great for healthy skin, hair and nails.
