Feeling hot in this boiling Australian summer? Or perhaps do you live in Europe or the United States and want to pump your body with some vitamins, hydrate yourself more with some fresh lemonade? Then this cucumber and watermelon lemonade is the right drink for you.
I love fresh juice and smoothies, especially green smoothies. I always feel like I nourish my body with a liquid food that is usually easier for me to digest. If you haven’t tried my super green smoothie made of spinach and kale, now it’s about time!
Here’s a little guide about smoothies. It explains how to make good smoothies full of nutrients and how drinking smoothies will help you lose weight.
If I have time I make one smoothie in the morning for my breakfast. When I feel hungry during the day, I make another smoothie bowl. This is usually a more creative smoothie ad I attempt to take photos of this smoothie bowl! If a recipe is worthy to write about, I incorporate it into a new recipe post that I share here.
Of course, not always have time to make one or even two smoothies a day. If I am really busy and I still want to have some kind of smoothie for my breakfast, I simply take out a couple of frozen bananas from my freezer (that I ALWAYS have in my freezer) and add other frozen goodies that I have in my freezer, such as berries, mango, kale, etc.
On hot days during summer, I make A LOT of fresh juices. At the moment I do not own a juicer. So how do I make my fresh juices? Whenever it’s possible, I blend the fruit and vegetables in my high-speed blender until very very smooth. Then I pass the juice through my very fine strainer.
So far I am aware, the Vitamix high-speed blender is the best blender in a market at the moment. So get one right now, as a post-Christmas treat!!
