The basis for a healthy smoothie

A smoothie is a delicious and healthy drink that you can make with a combination of different ingredients. Here is a basic smoothie recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen fruit (e.g. banana, strawberries, blueberries, mango)
• 1 cup liquid (e.g. milk, almond milk, coconut water, yogurt)
• 1 handful of leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach, kale, lettuce)
• Optional: sweetener to taste (e.g. honey, maple syrup, agave syrup)
• Optional: additional seasonings (e.g. vanilla extract, cinnamon, cocoa powder)
• Optional: ice cubes (for a thicker texture)

Instructions:

1. Add the frozen fruit to a blender.
2. Add the liquid to the blender. Start with a smaller amount of liquid and add more as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
3. Add the leafy vegetables to the blender. This is a great way to add extra nutrients to your smoothie without drastically changing the taste.
4. Add any sweeteners or seasonings to taste.
5. Blend all ingredients on high speed until a smooth consistency is achieved. If you want a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

You can experiment with different combinations of fruits, liquids and seasonings to create your own favorite smoothie. Feel free to add additional ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, protein powder or superfoods, to further increase the nutritional value. Below are several recipes that you can try.
