Fruit Smoothie Recipes

Blueberry & Avocado Smoothie

Ingredients

- 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 table spoons of unsweetended acidophilus yogurt
- soy or normal milk

Skin and pit avocado then chop in to cubes approximately 1.5cm X 1.5cm. Defrost blueberries if frozen, and add with avocado, yogurt and a little soy milk (just a little to start with) to blender. Blend on high until ingredients are smooth. Add desired amount of milk to thin and blend again on low.

For a change, try using mixed berries or boysenberries instead of/ as well as blueberries.

Orange Detox

Ingredients

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 small knob of ginger
- 5-7 oranges or pulpy orange juice
- 4 carrots
- 2 apples

Crush garlic & ginger into small bowl suitable for stovetop. Add 130ml water, cover & bring to boil. Leave broth to cool off. Wash carrots thoroughly, peel & slice oranges. Juice oranges adding a small amount of pulp if you prefer pulpy juices, juice carrots and apples. Add the juice & broth together & shake well. If the broth is still a little warm, you will definately want to chill before drinking.

Orange juice masks the taste of garlic & ginger. This juice is a great way to start the day, garlic and ginger are one of thse extremely valuable superfoods, good for general detoxing, clearing up skin imbalance and building immunity for the winter months.

I generally make up a weeks worth of the juice (leaving out the oranges), buy a quality pulpy orange juice, and mix each morning.
