Smoothies

We all know that eating raw fruits and vegetables is extremely beneficial to our health. However, finding the time to eat enough fruits and vegetables per day can be difficult with too busy lifestyles. Smoothies offer unique health benefit and are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. Smoothies made from fruits or vegetables are an excellent way to enjoy a delicious drink that offers good nutrition. This is the real fast food and I’m not talking about how fast the food gets to your mouth but how fast the body gets the benefits of what are you eating.A smoothie is a blended, chilled, sweet beverage made from fresh fruits or vegetables. In addition to fruits or vegetables, many smoothies include crushed ice, frozen fruits or yogurt.

Feel free to experiment; there are thousands of fruits and vegetables to be mix.
Here are some of the recipes I made. The recipes are for 4-5 portions:
