Scrumptious Smoothies: Delicious and Nutritious

Smoothies need no introduction. Nothing else in this world compares to the pleasure of drinking a fresh smoothie on a hot summer afternoon. Smoothies are as delicious as they are nutritious, loaded with fresh fruit and vegetables. A smoothie is a great way of making those picky eaters eat their fruits and vegetables Most of the smoothies you buy from the market are delicious, but usually contain more added sugar and preservatives you'd like to eat. The best thing about making your own smoothies is control over the recipe. You can add little or no sugar, and use low-fat versions of the dairy products. Depending on your taste and preference, you may substitute dairy products for their dairy free counterparts. For example, soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk may be used instead of regular milk if you would like to make a vegan smoothie. Also, the smoothies you make at home are fresh as they can get, hence maintaining the nutritional content of the drink.Considering how easy smoothies are to make at home, I really se no reason to enjoy this drink at home. All you need to do is throw all the ingredients into a blender, or a stick blender, or a smoothie maker, and process until the ingredients are blended. Smoothies can be enjoyed as a snack, a dessert, or even a whole meal This book will give you plenty of ideas for making interesting smoothie recipes. Once you've mastered these basic recipes, feel free to experiment and some up with smoothie recipes of your own
