Instructions
Step 1
There is a fundamental difference between making regular fruit juice and making a smoothie. To prepare the first, the centrifuge method is used, in which most of the fruit pulp is thrown away. And when making a smoothie, all the pulp of the crushed fruit remains in the drink. If it turns out to be too thick, it is diluted with cream, milk, water, etc.
Step 2
This drink turns out to be very tasty. The smooth structure of the smoothie allows you to drink it slowly, "stretching" the pleasure. The drink always turns out to be colorful and bright, which pleases the eye. Adults love this dessert because it is very gentle and gives a feeling of lightness, children - for its brightness.
Step 3
When you eat a smoothie every day in large quantities, and claim that it is extremely healthy, do not forget about the sugar content in the drink. A liter of drink contains from 500 calories or more, so you should not replace water with it. Otherwise, the dessert can become a time bomb and manifest itself in the future in the form of extra pounds and cellulite.
Step 4
Before preparing the dessert, peel the fruit well so that the peel does not stick to your teeth in the future. Examine the pulp: Avoid mixing film-coated grapefruit, such as tangerine, to avoid ruining the drink. It is best to take a fruit with a dense pulp (mango, banana) and any more juicy fruit in a 1: 1 ratio.
Step 5
Grind the fruit in a blender. If the puree is too thick, dilute it with water, milk or ice cubes.
Step 6
Strawberry-yoghurt drink is quite popular among smoothie lovers. To prepare it, mix fresh frozen or fresh strawberries (200 g) with yogurt (150 g) in a blender. Then add low-fat milk (250 ml) and beat in a blender until smooth. You can also add some ice cubes if you like.
