Smoothies are the perfect way to serve a nice dose of healthy nutrients and vitamins in a drink form. They are quick to prepare and can be very versatile. Also, they can be served for breakfast, lunch, pre or post-workout, and dinner.

You can add pretty much anything to it and adjust it based on your taste and mood. If you are looking to boost your vitamin intake or want to add some protein to your diet, making a fresh smoothie is the ultimate way to go. Because they are delicious, smoothies can be served to kids and adults alike.

To make a smoothie, all you need are a few simple ingredients added to a blender and less than three minutes of your time. You will be rewarded with a delicious treat that is refreshing and also super healthy. During the summer times, you can add some ice to the blender and serve it chilled. It is a great way to refresh your body or to start your day.

What are the benefits of a smoothie?

It all depends on what you put into it. Generally, I like to make the smoothie with at least a few ingredients which include veggies and fruits. Spinach, strawberries, cherries, bananas, are some of the ingredients you can blend into a smoothie.

The benefits are also great because you consume a lot of vitamins, minerals, fiber, into a single drink. That should give you an energy boost, and re-energize your body.
