Simple One Fruit Smoothie or Grand Smoothie Special?
What’s a healthy alternative for carbonated drinks? How about fruit juices and shakes? Why not both? Why not a smoothie to incorporate both the fruit juice and the texture of a shake in one fantastic drink? A smoothie is like a milkshake except that it doesn’t have ice cream, an essential ingredient of the milkshake. The smoothie is said to be the healthier alternative because its primary ingredient is usually a fruit. It can be frozen fruit or even fresh fruit. This fruit base is combined with yogurt and crushed ice and blended well.
You can make smoothies from only one fruit base or combine it with several other fruits to come up with an even better tasting combination. Vegetarians, vegans and even people who want to eat healthy snacks will love the smoothie. It is healthy and can also be consumed by lactose intolerant people. Here are some recipes that you can use to make your own smoothies; you can also use the recipe as a basis for how you will make your own favorite smoothie.
For the first recipe, you have to combine mixed berries, apple slices, orange juice, a banana and a kiwi in a blender and mix it well. When the consistency is smooth add yogurt, aloe-vera juice, barley grass powder, tofu, flaxseed oil, peanut butter and soy milk. Blend it again until it is thick and smooth. Pour into glasses and serve as a breakfast drink or snack.
Another recipe you can use is the papaya smoothie. If you want a smoothie that uses only one fruit base but still tastes fantastic, you should try this one. You only need to blend ripe papaya pieces (coarsely chopped) with vanilla yogurt (best if frozen) and orange juice for a few seconds until it is smooth and thick. Use ripe papayas so that you won’t need to put in a sweetener or sugar, but if you have a sweet tooth I won’t hurt to add a little dollop of honey to the smoothie.
