Provide with smoothie recipes with vegetables and fruits

Hi guys! I try to take care of myself, my health and body, so I eat only healthy food and do sports. To be honest, I drink smoothie very seldom but I have heard that it can be really tasty.  Moreover, the delicious taste is fulfilled with vitamins. Blueberry cocktails appealed me. I like fruits and vegetable, fruit smoothie in general, so it does not matter what cocktail to make.

It would be good to have naturally sweet smoothie recipes. Putting ice cubes and adding almond milk seems a nice idea! Yummy smoothie with frozen fruit, apple juice, leafy green is my favorite one. Healthy recipes make my mood better. Adding fruit and vegetable is the best variant for a cocktail. But now I have some questions:

Is it better to have a smoothie for breakfast or dinner? Could I drink it if I follow a healthy diet? What do you think? Do you know any tasty healthy smoothies recipes with fresh fruits? What ingredients do I need? Tell me please your favorite recipe for this amazing drink. Maybe you know some green smoothie recipes?

I will be very pleased to hear your opinion concerning smoothie recipes with vegetables and fruits. I’m looking forward to your answers. Thank you very much.

Have a nice meal!

Hello, Tina! I have my list of favorite smoothie recipes and gladly share it with you! First one is with carrots, celery an apples. You need two carrots, an apple, 225 grams of celery and 235 ml of water. Instead of water I often use kefir or milk, it makes my cocktail more nutritious. This brightly orange drink is great for our immune system. I spend a lot of time in front of PC and when my eyes are tired I know that I need carrot salad or this amazing drink. It really works!

Do you eat enough of greens during your busy days, Tina? I do not think so. That`s why you have to try this perfect green smoothie with spinach and frozen berries! Last time I used my favorite blueberries, it was amazing. You will need a ripe banana, 1000 grams of berries, 75 grams of fresh spinach, 200 grams of liquid (water or kefir). This drink is cool for weight loss, the dose of spinach in it has only 20 calories! You`ll be also surprised how tasty it is! Enjoy!

Another of my favorites is made of kale and pineapple. It is soooo creamy and filling! I put 150 grams of kale leaves, 100 grams of milk, a banana, 50 grams of greek yogurt, some pineapple, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (that`s what makes our drink super creamy and nutritious), 2 tablespoons of honey (optional). It may be strange but you will not actually taste the kale here. It is more like a delicious dessert with lots of benefits to our health. Done! You have your perfect breakfast smoothie. You won`t get hungry for a long time, believe me 🙂 Enjoy!

It`s good to have at least one frozen component in your smoothie, it will make the structure better and taste refreshing. This recipe is super rich in fiber. So, take 100 grams of frozen berries, 75 grams of spinach, 100 ml of milk, 150 ml of plain yogurt, a few tablespoons of honey, and a tablespoon of flax seed. The portion is for two people and it takes only 5 minutes to prepare. What milk do you prefer? In this smoothie, you can use soy, coconut or even rice one. Hope you will like it!

Since you learn about the smoothie components proportions, you do not have to measure the ingredients precisely, it`s all about improvisation now. Let`s be ingenious! Strawberry – pineapple – kale! Banana – peach – greens! Grapes – avocado – apple! Cherry – spinach! Frozen cherries is a must-have in your kitchen treasure, don`t you agree, Tina? They taste wonderful in a combination of milk, banana and spinach. Need it less caloric? Replace milk with water and enjoy your healthy breakfast!

Strawberry – pineapple – kale smoothie does not have that veggie taste you might not like. The drink is creamy and delicious! Any strawberries in your fridge saved in June? Lucky you are! 🙂 Mix berries with milk and honey first, add banana, kale and pineapple. Oh! And the apple juice, 70 ml is quite enough I guess. Some important vitamins are gone during the first few minutes after blending, I hope you know it, Tina. Serve your dring immediately and enjoy the healthiest meal ever!

Hello Tina! Smoothie is one of the best variants to choose, especially when you want to maintain your body!

It is at this time to eat porridge, fresh vegetables and fruits, you can lean varieties of meat and fish in a boiled form. It is also necessary to drink at least two liters of clean water without gas a day. The number of meals a day should be at least four or five (approximately every 2-2.5 hours), but in small portions, with one of the receptions to be replaced with freshly squeezed juice or just water.

During diet on smoothies, you should exclude spicy, salty, sweet, fatty, fried, smoked foods, as well as semi-finished products, canned foods, caffeinated, alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
