Raspberry Kiwi Smoothie

One more month passed by... Man, it was changing April! Rain, hail, sun and temperatures below 0. All in all - a period when "when-will-the-summer-finally-come?" question was theme of each day. People got exhausted from lack of sun and surplus of rain. A wish to stay in bed under warm blanket almost overcame myself. But I survived. Now back on track I am happy to share a lot of new recipes with you.  And since today we have  eventually a sunny warm day I want to emphasise it with a bright smoothie recipe.

Ingredients:
yields 2 portions
4 kiwi
1 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh)
4 bananas
0.5 cup water

Smoothies are full of vitamins and fibre, therefore make a perfect alternative to sugary sparkling drinks, lemonades and juices. As you know, the latter only cause a sugar spike and therefore it is much healthier to consume fruits with flesh. Smoothies can also make a wonderful colourful breakfast. In other words, it is SMOOTHIE TIME! I hope you've already tried Vitamin Boost Smoothie because today we have a perfect combination of kiwis, banana and raspberries. Sweet, sour, full of vitamin C, Е, РР, А, В1, В2, В3, В6, takes your stress away and boosts your metabolism. 
In a smoothie maker mix 2 bananas, 4 kiwis and 1/4 cup water. Blend thoroughly and pour equally into the glasses. Then combine raspberries, rest of the water and bananas. Mix and carefully pour over the first layer. Easy, right?

I decorated them with wonderful flowers and how did you serve yours?

Vitamin Boost Smoothie


Spring, sun, warmth... Welcome to the season, when looking out of the window makes you smile. This is the season when we were not lazy to wake up even at 8 a.m. on Sunday to go to Fischmarkt. Because there is a huge advantage of living in Hamburg. Cheap fruit and vegetables, fish and wide range of other staff. Just limited for couple of hours every Sunday. And that is the reason to open the season :) It's smoothie time.




After winter our bodies are exhausted. Lack of vitamins has impact on all the systems. The best way to start smoothly new season - smoothie.


Of course, you can be creative enough during the smoothie-making-process. Choose whatever you like, add exotic ingredients and enjoy. For this particular "Vitamin Boost" smoothie you will need:

1 ripe mango
1 apple
2 mandarins
carambola to serve

Step 1: Easier couldn't be: wash the fruits, peel them and blend them all in a kitchen machine.

Step 2: Drink, enrich your body with vitamins and energy. And enjoy :)
