Vegan Smoothie Recipe

Peach, strawberry, raspberry and orange juice smoothie:

Hello lovely people! How are yo doing today? I have another smoothie recipe for you! You really seem to enjoy them, and I love making them for you :).
If you want to know how to make this tropical concoction, look below and follow the few easy steps.






Ingredients:

  • One peach;
  • 10 raspberries;
  • 10 strawberries;
  • 300ml fresh orange juice
When making this smoothie make sure you increase the amount of ingredients if you want it to serve more people. Always make sure to place a lot of liquid in the blender so it doesn't get stuck or clumpy. 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare all your fruit, to do this you want to cut your: peach into quarters, make sure you are safe as there is a huge pip in the middle. You also want to cut the top of the strawberries off, (you don't have to, but I do); and just wash your raspberries;
  2. Place all your fruit into your blender of choice, I'm using the Breville pick&mix jug blender, if you want to see my review on this click here;
  3. Pour the orange juice slowly into the blender (don't want to make a mess now);
  4. pulse your fruit to begin with, (if you don't have a pulse setting, make sure you blend it slowly, press the button then stop, then press again). This is because the peach has thick skin, you want to make sure your smoothie is not bumpy;
  5. put your blender on a higher setting and blend for a straight minute; 
  6. Pour into a glass and ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Strawberries:
A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Raspberries:
Raspberries are great for the brain, for example; it decreases the delay in cognitive ability related to aging. As well as this, raspberries are enriched with potassium, this helps repair and build: organs, cells and tissue.

Peach:
Peaches are enriched with vitamin C, this is great for the skin and is used in many skincare brands, especially in anti-ageing as it helps reduce wrinkles. It also hydrates the skin, so if you have dry skin like me, you can make a peach mask to enhance your natural oils.
