Fruit Drink
See? Making a green smoothie is even more easy and painless than it sounds! The only caveat is not to blend your smoothie so long that it actually warms up. Now it’s time to decide what fruits and vegetables you want to use in your smoothie. For your greens, you can try kale, chard, spinach or broccoli. In any event, you will be consuming a drink that is high in fibre before you’ve even thought about the fruit quotient.
And now for the fruit! You can try using apple, peach, pineapple or mango. But you needn’t feel limited by this list. They are only suggestions. This is your smoothie so you should feel free to use whatever fruit pleases your taste buds the most. Have a stroll through your produce department to refresh your mind on all the possibilities.
Vegetable Drink
What are the benefits of a drink like this? The first is the creativity factor. No one is going to tell you what fruits and veggies to pour into your green smoothie. Yes, you can buy some pretty neat vegetable and fruit drinks at the grocery store, but you don’t know where any of that came from. When you make your own, you know where every last ingredient came from and you will have the satisfaction of having made it yourself.
Healthy Eating Pyramid
The second is obvious: it’s as healthy as all get out. Consult the healthy eating pyramid and you’ll find out just how much of your recommended daily fruit and vegetable consumption you’re covering through this drink alone. This recipe yields about a litre of beverage. The final benefit is that it takes no time at all to make. It’s a healthy beverage for a busy person. Cheers!
