The popularity of smoothies can be attributed not only to the fact that these cocktails taste good. They are also of great benefit. For many housewives, making a smoothie in winter is a great option for providing households with the necessary vitamins.
Not everyone likes vitamin salads and fruit mixes. If children can still be persuaded to eat a few fruits, then this option is not always suitable with adult men. But light vegetable and fruit smoothies are usually drunk with great pleasure. By carefully selecting the ingredients, you can provide your family members with the missing vitamins, which is especially important in the winter.
Cranberry smoothie
To make a cranberry smoothie, add 120 ml of cream and a couple of tablespoons of honey to a glass of fresh or frozen berries. If you want it to turn out sour, it is better to take fresh berries. Place all ingredients in a blender and mix in it. Cream will soften the taste a little, but won't diminish the benefits. Not everyone manages to easily overpower a glass of medicinal berries, but in the form of a smoothie it turns out much easier. The absence of heat treatment ensures the preservation of vitamins.
Orange and persimmon smoothie
Remove the zest from two oranges and squeeze the juice. Free the persimmon (two pieces) from the tough skin and pits. Soak four dried apricots in warm water for a few minutes. You will also need natural yogurt - three large spoons, and a tablespoon of sea buckthorn for a slight sourness. Set aside the yogurt and some zest, and blend the rest of the ingredients in a blender. The resulting mixture must be poured into a glass, put yogurt on top, sprinkle with chopped zest.
A simple and healthy vegetable smoothie for kids
Boil three medium carrots for 15 minutes over low heat. Then peel, place in a blender and mix with a glass of apple juice. This technique helps in cases where the child flatly refuses healthy carrots. In the form of a smoothie, it is most often persuaded to swallow it.
