Fruit smoothie in 3 steps

The three steps to a delicious fruit smoothie:

1. 1. Start by choosing a liquid to serve as the base for your smoothie: water, iced tea, milk (with or without lactose), low-fat natural yogurt or a plant-based drink (ideally, without added oils or sugars);
   2. Next, choose your favorite fruits: berries, mango, banana, orange and papaya are some examples that work well in this type of recipe. You can also add some vegetables, such as carrots, spinach or watercress. Adding ginger or lemon juice also gives an interesting and different flavor. Try it!
   3. Finally, you can also enrich your smoothie with a cereal rich in fiber, such as oats, and seeds such as flax, chia or hemp. Not only will they enrich your smoothie with fiber, but they will also add some protein value, which is important for regulating satiety and appetite if you choose water, tea or a plant-based drink, for example.
