smoothies

Smoothies are refreshing drinks, often made with a blender, consisting of one or more of the following ingredients: fresh/frozen fruit, vegetables, greens, water, juice, honey/other sweetener, yogurt, chocolate and more.


Smoothies are generally consumed as a healthier alternative to fat laden, sugary products like milk shakes and sweet soft drinks.

When consuming food whipped in a blender in the form of a smoothie, it is suggested that the body is able to digest the contents more rapidly and efficiently. Also, since the ingredients of a smoothie are often raw and no heat is applied, it is suggested that more enzymes and nutrients stay intact.

You'll find bloggers talking about smoothies at sites like Nutrition Supplement Blog and Raw Organic Food.
