The history of smoothies is a story of innovation and culinary creativity. These blended drinks have become popular in recent decades, mainly due to the growing interest in a healthy lifestyle. They are a great way to consume fruits and vegetables in a pleasant and convenient way.
Ingredients:
- 200 g well ripe avocado
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 medium apple (preferably a sweet and crunchy variety)
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- Optional: 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)
- Optional: 100 ml water or vegetable milk for a more fluid consistency
- For garnish: apple or avocado slices, chia seeds or ground nuts
Step by step:
1. Prepare ingredients: Start by washing the fruit thoroughly. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and with a spoon, scoop out the flesh into a bowl. This will add a creamy texture to your smoothie. Choose a well-ripe avocado that is soft to the touch but not overripe to avoid a bitter taste.
2. Peeling the banana: Peel the banana and cut it into rounds. This will not only add natural sweetness, but also contribute to a smooth texture to the drink.
3. Preparing the apple: Cut the apple into quarters, remove the peel and if you wish, you can peel it, but it is not necessary. The peel contains many vitamins and minerals. Cut it into cubes to facilitate the blending process.
4. Blending the ingredients: Add the avocado, banana and apple to the food scoop of your multifunction juicer. Don't forget to add the lime juice, which will give a fresh taste and help keep the smoothie beautifully colored.
5. Optional - add natural sweets: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup. These not only improve the taste, but also provide extra nutrients.
6. Add liquid: If you want a more fluid consistency, you can add water or plant milks such as almond or coconut milk. These will complement the flavors perfectly and make the smoothie easier to drink.
7. Blending: Start the juicer and blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If necessary, turn it off and stir a little with a spatula to help the blending process.
8. To serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with apple or avocado slices. You can also add chia seeds or ground nuts for extra crunch.
Helpful tips:
