Mandy and Rebecca Wolfe are known for their gourmet salads, accessible comfort-food recipes and impeccable taste in decor. This recipe, for a quick antioxidant-packed green smoothie, is energizing and a balm for digestive issues. “If you have any fruit lying around that is about to turn, do yourself a favour and chop those goodies up into small chunks and freeze them – especially pears and grapes – they’ll be delicious in this smoothie,” the sisters write.
