Smoothies are an innovative concept of healthy food based on fresh fruits that provide health, well-being and nutrition. They are prepared with 100% blended fruit, without the addition of water and sugar, and for this reason, they are more consistent and healthier than natural juices.
Smoothies are a good alternative for those who are on a diet but do not give up quality of life and flavor.
Depending on the ingredients that are used, the drink can help to give vitality, energy and prevent aging. Also, smoothies can be very tasty.
