With a few ingredients you can whip up a refreshing and healthy drink
Smoothies are such versatile drinks and can be consumed at any time of the day. All it takes is a few fruits, sometimes some veggies, some juice, a blender and you’re golden. Here are smoothie recipes that will keep your energy up during the day. You can even make these the night before to save time, and then refrigerate them so they’re ready for morning.

Green lean post-workout
Try this amazing post-workout smoothie. I got the recipe from an episode of The Doctors but made it even simpler.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of washed watercress

– 1/2 cup of washed green apple

Enjoy something healthy and yummy after hours at the gym!
Strawberry mango dessert
Make yourself a delicious after-dinner smoothie. If you’re a dessert lover and are looking to spice things up, this is the one for you. It may not be the healthiest on this list, but let’s face it, it’s better than eating a piece of cake. The chocolate ice cream gives this smoothie a certain je ne sais quoi.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups of two per cent milk
– 1 cup of washed strawberries
– 1 cup of mango slices
– 2 scoops or tablespoons of chocolate ice cream
These are just a few ideas; remember that the possibilities are endless! Change up your fruit combinations to create recipes of your own. Add some carrots for a sweet flavour, an avocado for a creamy texture, or some cilantro to add some kick.
