Preparing the fruits and vegetables for smoothies
- Always prefer those organic fruits and vegetablesfrom fresh markets or the nearest supermarkets
- If you cant get organic fruits and vegetables then as long as they are fresh it is ok. If you can, try to avoid the canned fruits and vegetables as they have high preservatives content.
- Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly in cold water, by running it with water or in the sink
- For some fruits you don't need to peel them because the nutrients are in the peel of the fruits
- Deseed some fruits if they have seed of course
- Cut the fruits not as thick so that the blender will be just using it mildly. I take machines as some kind of humans too, the less they do the job its better and lesser electricity
- All you need is milk, cream, yoghurt if you choose to, and dont forget to choose the low fat, low carb sugar if you like to add and cream which is low fat again. All low fat and low carb for a healthier smoothies. Or protein powder, flaxseed, wheat germ, bee pollen and sweet honey for sweetener are another alternative for you.
