Apple Banana Strawberry Smoothie/Shake

ApplebananaStrawberrymilkshake

Apples are a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. Most of the apple's fiber

is contained in its skin, as is the majority of its quercitin. Since peeling results in

the loss of apples' flavonoids and most of its valuable fiber, choose organically grown

apples whenever possible. Bananas are one of our best sources of potassium, an essential

mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. Strawberries are good

source of vitamin c and manganese, dietary fiber, iodine, potassium, folate, vitamin B5,

B6 and K.

Fruit smoothies not only fill you up but also recharge you, i can have this anytime

of the day and do not filter the juice and separate the fiber. Use a good quality

blender which will blend the pulp into a smooth paste and enjoy a cup full of

high fiber, nutritious smoothie.

Avocado Mango Milk Shake

AvocadoMangoMilkshake

One-fifth of a medium avocado, or about one ounce, has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 beneficial

nutrients to the diet. Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including 4%

of the recommended Daily Value (DV) for vitamin E, 4% vitamin C, 8% folate, 4% fiber, 2% iron, 4%

potassium, with 81 micrograms of lutein and 19 micrograms of beta-carotene. Mango is a good source

of Vitamin A, C and dietary fiber, but is high in sugar, so if you are on a diabetic diet and looking for

low glycemic diet, Mango is not for you. Raw milk is a good source of calcium.
