Text: Karina Sembe

We continue to make original recipes. delicious and healthy dishes for every day and after the hearty protein breakfasts offer an equally useful option for those who prefer an easy start to the day. Drinks from fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits will come in handy at any other time of the day, especially since this path to vigor is extremely short and runs through the most ordinary blender. For simple recipes of smoothies, now is the time: to whom the post, to whom the vitamin charge. In addition, this is a great way to find a new use of lightly used spinach, accrete tomatoes or crooked cucumber: if you think they don't color your table, it's better to send them to a blender than to a trash can.

But if there is no doubt about the benefits of such vitamin cocktails, taste is not so simple: in theory, an immaculate smoothie, stuffed with superfoods, is often not tastier than a bunch of field grass, and its texture resembles something less pleasant. To begin with, we advise you to try five simple vegetable smoothies that will surely please with a balanced taste and add vitamins and fiber to your diet. Over time, having learned how different combinations of ingredients work, you can easily vary them to achieve the desired - to make the drink more nourishing or easy, add flavor with the help of fruit, regulate tartness or spiciness.

Cucumber-spinach with chia seeds

This green smoothie is very simple, but not boring at all - the apple adds light sweetness, the cucumber and mint are refreshing, the lime juice is responsible for the aroma and pleasant sourness. Due to the rich in fiber spinach drink perfectly nourishes, and chia seeds - a reliable source of omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids, protein and antioxidants.

Ingredients:

Pumpkin with Greek Yogurt

One of the sweetest vegetable smoothies that will easily go for a healthy dessert. The pumpkin contains a lot of beta-carotene, potassium, vitamins C, E, B1 and B2, and Greek yogurt and almonds are rich in protein. If desired, you can replace the yogurt with any vegetable milk, but in this case, be prepared to sacrifice the delicate creamy texture of the drink and limit the amount of ice to a couple of cubes.

Ingredients:

Protein c avocado and match

This is a full-fledged breakfast - fairly light, but able to energize for a long time thanks to the shock group of avocado, almond milk and protein. The match is excellently invigorating, although it contains half as much caffeine as coffee, and the concentration of antioxidants EGCG-catechins in bright green tea powder is 137 times higher than in leafy green tea. We like the vegan version of the protein smoothie, choose flavored nut milk and vegetable protein for it. In addition to soy, there is a large selection - from pea to hemp.

Ingredients:

Tomato

The most vegetable of all vegetable smoothies. Some people may have a list of ingredients like gazpacho, and in Spain there will certainly be a couple of families in which traditional soup is prepared from the products listed above. Anyway, our smoothie is simpler and not so spicy, but rich enough to add strength with a hangover or become a substitute for a light dinner.

Ingredients:

With rhubarb and spirulina

This rather light smoothie is closer in texture to a refreshing cocktail. Do not be afraid of spirulina in the list of ingredients - these algae have earned the status of a panacea in the fight against all the vicissitudes of life - from weakened immunity to allergies - and, perhaps, for good reason. Spirulina contains an average of 61% protein, a sickly dose of essential amino acids, as well as omega-3, -6 and -9, most B vitamins - in general, the full list pulls into a separate article.
