Secrets from a smoothie lover
Would you like to know the secret to making the perfect smoothie? It’s easy! Just go out and buy all sorts of plant-based ingredients: fruits, veggies, fresh or frozen, exotic or local, spices and superfoods. Bring them home and wash them, place them in the fridge and wait until the next morning.
When you’ll wake up you’ll feel instantly inspired by all the colors, textures and aromas of those fresh plants in your fridge. I promise you that you will feel like a child running outside in a spring sunny day.
As a general rule, my smoothies are always prepared with plenty of healthy fats, lots of vegetables, and only a few fruits, plus spices and superfoods. This is roughly my formula for making delicious and healthy smoothies.
Follow your inspiration from there (or my recipes) and you’ll be making a delicious smoothie in no time!
I hope you’ll enjoy this smoothie as much as I did and I wish you all the best in your journey. Don’t be a stranger around these parts!

It blended very easily, and turned out sweet but not overly sweet with the most perfect texture.
