Today we will talk Smoothie. But what is a smoothie exactly? What is the difference between a milkshake? Is it a true energy intake and can we make at home? So many questions that we will try to answer ...

A Smoothie is a blend of mixed fruits and vegetables, which uses liquid and cold. Composed of natural and fresh, it can keep the benefits. However, there is still less healthy than fresh fruit, since destroyed by mixing a small amount of vitamins and fiber.

Especially since being mixed can cause you to consume a lot. But even if it is always better than a slice of pizza, some fruits are high in calories and high in sugar. Also, choose low sugar fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and cranberries, as well as melon and watermelon (when in season of course).

For as recommended by the Programme National Nutrition Santé, you must eat five fruits and vegetables a day. Also prefer fruits and vegetables rich in fiber which allow a slower absorption of sugar and a longer lasting satiety. Far more beneficial than just juice it!

Recipe idea :
The Smoothie cold mornings (for 2 glasses) ...

Because a good cocktail of vitamins is important at this time of year, here's a smoothie recipe based salad Romaine, Granny apple and ginger.

So you need: 1 green apple Granny type (heart removed), the flesh of a pink grapefruit, 6 large romaine lettuce leaves, half a banana, a little fresh ginger and about 250 ml of water (you can add a little if the mixture does not seem quite liquid).

You can also decorate this recipe in a glass of soy milk, a protein intake.

To make this liquid of mashed fruits and vegetables at home, you need a suitable blender. Especially since most of the vitamins and nutrients are contained in their skin, you need a device that is able to mix all to get the best. Such as the Mixer / Blender Vitamix TNC 5200 Keimling home.

Make smoothies at home with family is also a fun way to eat fresh food to children. Let them choose the dominant flavor (strawberry, banana, pineapple ...), add beneficial products (tomatoes, citrus, parsley ...), have them participate in the development, then pour their creation in a tall glass with a straw ... they will resist it!
