Fruit smoothie recipe: Perfect blend to welcome spring mornings

Published:

Fruit smoothies are a popular drink worldwide with each culture providing its own innovative twists to the classical recipe. A whole fruit smoothie often consists of fruits, milk, and a sweetener like maple syrup or honey for those who like their drinks a little sugary.

Western cultures perceive fruit smoothies as healthy alternatives to sugary drinks given the fact that they are composed of fresh and organic ingredients. In addition to the fruits, some cultures like the Middle East also add spices like cardamom and serve the drinks as dessert. The drink is often allied with 

granola, yogurt, and at times even oatmeal.

Organic ingredients make the smoothie a rich source of vitamins and minerals which are essential components to support many bodily functions. The concentration of antioxidants in the smoothie also helps protect against cellular damage while the liquid which largely comprises the drink facilitates hydration and helps maintain skin, hair, and nails.

To make a whole fruit smoothie, you will need:

Ingredients:

1 cup of your choice of frozen fruit (e.g. berries, mango, banana)

1 cup of liquid (e.g. almond milk, coconut milk, juice)

1 tbsp of sweetener (e.g. honey, maple syrup, agave nectar) (optional)

1 tsp of vanilla extract (optional)

1 handful of greens (e.g. spinach, kale) (optional)

Instructions:

Place the assorted frozen fruits in a blender.

Add the liquid and any optional ingredients.

Blend until smooth.

Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Note: You can adjust the consistency of the smoothie by adding more or less liquid, depending on your preference.

Whole fruit smoothies are especially prevalent in tropical countries due to the abundance of fruits in such regions. The drink has come to be enjoyed by people of various cultures and remains to be a delicious alternative to anyone who would still like a tasty drink but does not prefer a coke or a Pepsi.
