One of the best things about a smoothie is that it’s actually good for you- but it tastes so good it seems positively sinful. Fresh fruit and fruit juice provide many of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need- doctors recommend we have at least fie servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Add other good things, like yoghurt, nut milks and soy milk, and smoothies become vitamin powerhouses. Some recipes aren’t so virtuous: chocolate and ice cream may not be exactly saintly, but they taste terrific.
To make delicious smoothies, all you need is a blender- and very often not even that. I like to start with ice cubes blended to a snow. However, not all blenders are designed to crush ice, so if yours isn’t, put the whole cubes in the serving glass, blend the rest of the ingredients and pour them over the ice. Different brands of blender have different capacities. Most will make a one-serving smoothie, but to serve more people you may have to work in batches.
