Smoothies are healthy, energy-boosting drinks that are blended from easily available fruits, some of which may already be in your home.
Smoothies are highly nutritious. They require less energy to digest because of their milk-shake consistency and they are all natural, although many of them are sweetened. You can drink them as often as you want; before or after your daily exercise, during snack time or as a temporary replacement for a regular meal when schedules make it difficult for you to prepare one.
To be able to make smoothies yourself instead of buying these from health food stores, you need to buy a juice extractor to make fresh juice and a blender to mix your ingredients. Buying these will prove to be a good decision because they will work for your health and financial advantage in the long term.
Here are some energy-boosting smoothies which can be easily prepared at home:
1. Banana & Fig Smoothie

2. Honey & Bee Pollen Mix

3. Egg Yolk & Carrot Juice
