Blended and chilled, a smoothie is a wonderful drink any time of the day. Great for a wakener in the morning, to keep you going through the afternoon, or to relax with in the evening, they are great. Here is a selection of some of the best smoothie recipes to try at home.
A wonderful way to start the day is with a breakfast smoothie. This recipe takes all the very best goodness from berries, and blends them superbly together. That it can be made in just five minutes makes it all the better for those hectic mornings.
All that is needed is a selection of berries; blueberries and blackberries, strawberries and raspberries are great, a very ripe banana sliced or mashed and an optional slug of apple juice. Placing everything in a suitable food processor, juicer or blender and whizzing up until the desired consistency will deliver a great breakfast drink.
As important as breakfast is, energy levels start to dip through the day. As such, it is good to boost the system with proteins and both slow and fast release sugars. This is where this little beauty really hits home.
Simply add one peeled and sliced banana to a blender, along with 250ml of soya milk, a teaspoon of honey, and two teaspoons of finely ground hazelnuts or oats and a little grated nutmeg to a blender. This should be thoroughly blended until smooth, and served with a sprinkling of chopped nuts on top. Enough for two, it is ideal to have a chat with a friend over.
In the evenings, the last thing most people want to do is cook a heavy meal. Bearing this in mind therefore, this wonderful concoction could be just the thing. It takes a little time to prepare, but does not require any slaving over a hot oven. Further, prepped in advance, it is also great for party time in the right way!
All that is needed is a quarter mango, a quarter papaya, 40g of frozen mixed berries, a little orange juice and the juice of a half a grapefruit. Once prepared, all the ingredients should be blended. Adults can liven things up a little with a splash of Cava or Prosecco to finish.
These are just three of the numerous smoothie recipes that are most well liked. However, much as with cocktails, there really is no limit. Kids too will love them of course, so let yours and theirs imaginations just go, and there will be plenty of fruity fun to have.
