HEALTHY TIPS FROM THE MARKET, ROCK SOUND

Smoothies: Great Nutrition for the Hot Weather

 
Tired of the hot, humid weather and need a cool drink?

 
Try making a smoothie! It’s quick to make, packed full of vitamins and a great energy booster. You can use whatever fresh fruit you have on hand. It’s great for bananas that are ripening too fast. Just pop a few bananas into the freezer skin and all. You can do this with most fruit to prevent them from ripening too quickly and spoiling. When you are ready for your smoothie take them out, peel them and put them into a blender.

 
You can be very creative when making smoothies because almost anything works Try strawberries, kiwi, mangoes, pineapple, melons, and blueberries. Smoothies have been around for more than 40 years!

 
If the fruit has been frozen first, the smoothie will be thicker and will melt as you drink it. Wonderful in this hot weather!

    * Add 1 banana, a few strawberries, and if you have any other fruit just add a little of that too! Any combination works!
    * You can add ½ cup of yogurt if you want
