Fruit Smoothie for Boosting Immune System

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009


If we leave our health up to the politicians, well then we should be worried about a pandemic. All the media hype about these killer flu’s and the subsequent lack of vaccines have left people in a quandry about how to protect themselves from theses viruses. While there’s not a sure fire method to keep you from these illnesses there are things you can do to boost your immune system and help fight it off. getting the right nutrition into your body could help you fight off colds and flu and that’s where the Super Fruit Smoothie comes in.

Certain super fruits such as Goji berries, blueberries, oranges, strawberries, etc. along with a few additions can boost your immune system. These fruits have many essential minerals and vitamins that help defend your body from nasty bugs. One of my cherished smoothies for the winter is detailed below and it has one special ingredient that is not mentioned enough and that is Bee Pollen. Bee pollen is a wonderful super food that is essential to boosting your body’s immune system. So here’s my morning immune system boost super fruit smoothie, I hope you like it as much as I do!

2 Cups of Organic Kefir (or your choice of yogurt, etc.)

2 Organic Bananas

!/2 cup Organic Blueberries

1/2 cup Organic Goji berries (or you can substitute Goji juice)

1/2 cup Organic Strawberries

Bee pollen

Organic Hemp seed oil

Organic Flax seed oil

Agave Nectar to sweeten

You can ice if you like your smoothie thicker and you can also add certain vegetables such as spinach or super greens powder to get that added potency. Any way you try this drink it will give you an added defense against those winter bugs that try to latch on to us and make our lives miserable.

Apples: Forbidden Fruit or Just Smoothie Goodness

Friday, October 16th, 2009


Since the fall of man back in the Garden of  Eden, the apple has just gotten better over time. Now autumn’s finest can be found in literally thousands of recipes all around the planet. It has been baked, burnt, dried, made into cider, applesauce, and many forms of juice and now smoothied!

The health properties of the apple are well documented and it’s nutritional qualities are extraordinary so the old addage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” can be substantiated. The varieties are also unlimited depending on your taste, you can choose from Braeburn,Granny Smith, fuji, Jonagold, Pippin and the list goes on.

Throwing an apple into the blender to enhance your smoothie comes without great stress as the apple is still relatively inexpensive compared to other fruits and it will add a zing to your fruit smoothies that’s hard to beat. Try the humble apple in your next smoothie and see if you don’t agree!

What’s the difference between food processors, smoothie makers and juicers?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I would like to make my own vegetable and fruit smoothies, soups and other blended food but I’m confused which small appliance to buy. They all seem to do the same thing but how come they’re called differently? What do you think I should get?

Food Processor: chops, grates food. Using different blades you can do different preps.

Blender: Chops, grates, crushes ice, & makes food much finer to the point of like a smoothie

Smoothie Makers: are usually not as powerful as a good Blender. They are much more limited in there uses that either a food Processor or Blender

Juicer: Extracts & separates the pulp of the fruit or veggie from the juice.

I own a Blender with a small food processor attachement(Hamilton Beech) & a Juicer(Jack LaLanne). I find the 2 are what I need for my healthy diet & lifetstyle. Both are moderately priced & I am pleased with the work they do.
My daughter owns a Vitamix Blender & a Champion Juicer & luvs them both. They are much more upscale than I have.
I hope this was helpful.

How to make a delicious (healthy) fruit smoothie?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Just want to know how to make a good fruit smoothie. One request, NO BANANA, it makes me sick!

I often use frozen fruits instead of ice but you can add juice or milk to make it more drinkable. Yogurt is definitely good in my opinion but any kind of fruit works (berries are my favorite). Also a splash of vanilla extract is good. Just throw stuff in the blender and experiment. It’s fun.

Any recipes for tasty yet healthy smoothies? I’m a big fan of strawberry and bananerss :)?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I’m a teen athlete and lovee to eat but want to make healthy choices. And fruit smoothies are my fav! Which blend setting should I set it to as well?

I’ve also put Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with these

1 cup orange juice
1 cup strawberry
2 cups yogurt
4 small bananas
Honey to taste

Directions:
Place all the ingredients in a blender.

Blend on high speed until smooth.

_________________________________________

1 cup strawberry
1 medium size ripe banana (preferably cold)
1 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon sugar
a few drops vanilla essence
a few drops imitation coconut essence (optional)

Method:
Place ice cubes into a blender, crush cubes. Place all other ingredients into blender and blend until thick. The colder the milk and banana the thicker the smoothie

Where can i find very good fruit smoothie recipes?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

i need 3 very good smoothie recipes. one a strawberry banana and one sugar and maybe fat free…

Videojug has some pretty good smoothie recipes. I really like them, although you might need to add a bit of sugar to all the fruit smoothie recipes. Enjoy!
