I am on the look out for better break fast option these days and by far this has been the tastiest one, Cucumber Smoothie. It’s ideal for summer and hardly takes a couple of minutes to whip it. (more…)
Its the season of strawberries, the red luscious fruit is loved by all. Mostly consumed as a fruit, it is also used in desserts, cakes and toppings. It gives a wonderful taste to cold beverages. Strawberrymilkshake is a favourite drink to enjoy in this season.
Here is a healthy twist to the usual milkshake. There is no added sugar and the milk used is low fat. I usually blend my milkshakes with a scoop or two of ice cream but avoided it here. Thus, this low fat milkshake is ideal to be consumed by all weight watchers.
Strawberry is nutritional packed, it is rich in anti oxidants and polyphenols. It also has nutrients, vitamins and minerals as manganese, Vitamin C,folate, potassium , dietary fibre and magnesium.
Benefits of Strawberries
Strawberries boosts immunity, reduces hyper tension and improves heart function. They boosts brain function and improves eye sight. They help prevent arthritis and gout. It reduces inflammation caused by injuries. It helps in weight loss.
Wash the strawberry, pat dry and cut into small pieces. Freeze them for some time. Grind all ingredients, pour it in a glass, add ice cube and serve immediately.
Take a tip:
Natura is a sugar free sweetener added to enhance the taste of the beverage. It can be prepared without it also.
It is ideal to freeze strawberry pieces ahead of time.

Mango smoothie is healthy and makes an excellent breakfast for all. It is packed with the goodness of mango, yoghurt and milk.
It is the season of mangoes and no reason not to use mangoes. As children, we enjoyed eating mangoes. Now, I find ways to cook with it.
The recipe of mango smoothie is given below. Addition of sugar is optional. It depends on the sweetness of the mango and most time, we rarely need it. Here, topping can be varied, you can put some chopped nuts, cherries or serve with a wafer.
The reason I love smoothies, it is filling and can be made in a jiffy.
Cut mango into chunks. Put it in a liquidiser with yoghurt and milk. Serve with any topping given below
Toppings :
cherries
nuts as cashew, almond and raisin cut into pieces
wafers
roasted flax seeds
soaked chia seeds
Notes
Any kind of sweetener may be used if needed.
Addition of milk is optional but it helps in balancing the taste if the curd is slightly sour.
