The Smoothie Trio

  

As part of our well-known range of Vitality drinks, we have now created three different Vitality smoothies especially for spring – the smoothie trio. 
Freshly squeezed fruit juices are an excellent remedy for spring fatigue. Our three smoothie specialties will ensure you get that energy boost throughout the day: a kick-off smoothie in the morning, a high-noon smoothie in the afternoon and a siesta smoothie in the evening. 
 
THE KICK-OFF SMOOTHIE

Bright and sunny, this juice is rich in fibre and full of antioxidants and vitamin A, thanks to carrots. The ginger will boost your metabolism in the morning, and the lemon juice is your healthy daily dose of vitamin C.

Medium carrots 16 (approx. 1.3 kg) 
Lemons 2 
Fresh ginger 4 cm / 1.5 inches 
 
1.Peel lemon, wash carrots and carefully scratch the skin off the ginger using the edge of a spoon. 
2.Pass all ingredients through a juicer. 
3.Fill in small bottles or glasses and serve. 
 
THE HIGH-NOON SMOOTHIE 

This creamy smoothie is rich enough to count as lunch. The banana is loaded with vitamins and minerals, the yoghurt adds some calcium, the berries are not only delicious, but also full of antitoxins and fibre that keep our digestive system running. Freshly squeezed orange juice brings a touch of acidity as well as an extra portion of vitamins.

Ripe banana 1

THE SIESTA SMOOTHIE 

The siesta smoothie is low in sugar but contains loads of nutrients. The mint is a natural aid to digestion and has an anti-inflammatory effect. A refreshing and light green juice that gives you more vitamins and minerals, including iron and B vitamins. A smooth refresher in the afternoon.
