Since the desire to exercise and monitor their healthy diet appears in people mainly in spring and summer, we decided to raise these topics as often as possible. This time I want to share with you recipes of delicious smoothies that are not only healthy, but also quite nutritious!

Personally, I would combine smoothies with something else, since with a busy work (vacation) schedule, you will want to eat by 11. By the way, I want to remind you that fractional nutrition is much more useful. So maybe the appearance of hunger by 11 o'clock in the morning is not so bad.
Smoothies are berries, fruits or vegetables whipped into puree with the addition of cream, milk, yogurt and other liquids. The ingredients of a smoothie can be very different and I am sure that you will be able to find a drink to your taste! Personally, I prefer milk smoothies with fruits, nuts, honey and yogurt-based smoothies without additives with cereals. If you have a blender at home, then you will be able to prepare breakfast very quickly ;)
In the recipes, everything is indicated in grams and milliliters, but you can cook "by eye", try and then add what you think is missing.
1. Berry smoothie.
Recipe:
200 g of cherries and blueberries, 100 g of strawberries are well washed and whipped with a blender in puree. Then add 1/4 ripe avocado and about 100 ml of yogurt without flavoring additives and sugar. And again whisk in the puree.
I don't really like unsweetened smoothies, so for a sweet tooth, you can remove the avocado and add sugar or honey plus a little oatmeal!
2. Exotic smoothies.
Recipe:
1 banana, 3 peaches, 200 ml unsweetened yogurt, 10 g vanilla sugar, 2 tbsp fresh orange juice, 1 tbsp oat flakes and a small handful of toasted almonds.
All you have to do is cut the ingredients into pieces, make a puree with a blender and beat it with yogurt. If it seems that it is not sweet enough, you can add a little sugar.
3. Tropical smoothie.
Recipe:
200 g mango, 1/2 small melon, 1/3 pineapple (can be canned), 1/2 cup toasted almonds and 100 ml milk. The preparation is standard — everything is mashed. You can leave a few large pieces. Melon can be replaced with peaches, pears or bananas.
4. Blueberry-banana with spices.
Recipe:
200 g of blueberries, 2 bananas, 3 tablespoons of oat flakes, peanuts and cocoa, 1 tablespoon of honey, a pinch of cinnamon and 150 ml of unsweetened yogurt.
5. Orange-mango drink.
Recipe:
400 ml of cold water, 1/4 cup of sugar, 4 large oranges and 200 ml of mango nectar. This is rather not a fruit drink, but a summer drink with pulp, which quenches thirst wonderfully. Dissolve the sugar in water, squeeze out the juice from the oranges and add it to the sweet water. At the end, add mango nectar to the mixture and everything is ready. Serve after lunch with ice!In general, you can make smoothies from simpler products. I mixed bio-yogurt, oat flakes, dried cranberries, raisins, banana and honey — it turned out very tasty!
Use the berries and fruits that you have at hand, mix with cold milk, yogurt, juices and even green tea. If you do everything wisely (do not mix, for example, apricots and milk), you will get an incredibly delicious and healthy breakfast!
