Recently I purchased a high powered mixer for making smoothies. This is a fast and easy way to get a nutrient filled meal from fruits and vegetables. In my opinion, smoothies are better than juicing because all the pulp is still there. Pulp is the necessary fiber that we need in our diet every day. Fruits and vegetable also have a high water content so this counts as some of my daily water intake for the day. My favorite recipe is mixed frozen fruit for the icy taste along with whatever fresh fruit I have on hand (pineapples, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, bananas), some carrots, a handful of spinach and a lowfat yogurt. Yum!
