The must-have toppings on your smoothies. Life Smoothies.

If you’re a fan of smoothies, I’m sure you’d like to give them that extra culinary and aesthetic touch. Toppings are just that extra touch your smoothie needs to turn out absolutely perfect. There are as many options and combinations as there are smoothies, so in this article we recommend some that can make your favourite drink a little more fun. Take note.

• Seeds

Here we can choose from many types of seeds, from chia, flax, pumpkin. These seeds help enhance the nutritional value of our smoothies. They have great nutritional properties, for example, they are a great source of fibre and protein. Some, like pumpkin, have anti-inflammatory properties and are a perfect complement to give an even healthier addition to your favourite smoothie.

• Cereals

In this section we have some cereals like quinoa, oats and granola. The first is gluten-free, helps keep cholesterol at bay and has a high amount of fibre. Oats are a source of vitamins A, B, E and D, provide good amounts of magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and small doses of calcium, folic acid and are very rich in manganese. Granola, on the other hand, offers a crunchier and sweeter touch but also many other properties such as fibre, vitamin E, folic acid and antioxidant properties.

• Berries

Some berries such as redcurrants, blueberries, raspberries, are always perfect in your smoothies. They are small, decorative and also have antioxidant and diuretic properties and are rich in vitamin C.

• Grated fruit

Another ideal topping for your smoothies is grated fruit to give it a unique touch. For example, you can use coconut or others like apple or mango, and if you’re really adventurous you can also choose grated vegetables like cucumber or carrot.

• Spices

For example, cinnamon is an ideal topping to enhance the sweet taste of your smoothie. If you have even more of a sweet tooth, you can choose a chocolate and grate it to sprinkle over your smoothie.
With all these toppings there is no excuse to not give your smoothie a unique touch and at the same time enhance its taste with healthy and nutritious ingredients. Choose any of our smoothies and play around with the toppings. You’ll be able to complement your drink perfectly and make it fun. Which will you choose?

Do you know about layered smoothies?

Layered smoothies

They’re fun, full of colour and original. If you like smoothies but also want to try shaking things up a bit to stop them from getting boring, then you’ll love layered smoothies! These smoothies have visible lines so you can see where one flavour ends and the next begins, and are broken into textures and graduated colours.

Colours of layered smoothies

Colours are what underpin this type of smoothie. And presentation is very important. You’ll want to serve it in a glass so that all the layers of colour and flavour can be fully appreciated. You can also add slices of fruit and seeds to give it that special touch.

We recommend that you make each layer of your smoothie separately. You could try using some of our colourful options – such as mixing the strong green of our “green machine” with the red tones of “strawberry split” and “raspberry love”, or the intense pink of our “acai kick”, and then finish it off with a touch of orange with our “mango paradise”.

It’s important that each layer is as thick and cold as possible so that it does not all mix together. For a more creative touch, you can try cutting some fruit into thin slices and layering them around the glass container you’re using for your layered smoothie. Use colourful fruits with seeds – such as strawberries, kiwis and figs – as these will stand out in the glass. Be sure to combine ranges of colour depending on the type of smoothie you’ve chosen for each layer. If you want it a bit darker, try using sliced blackberries or blueberries.

Seeds and supplements

And what about seeds and supplements? Which are best for your layered smoothie? Chia seeds can work really well because of their dark colour and will stand out in the rainbow of your layered smoothie. But you can also try flax seeds as well as nuts such as walnuts or almonds.

To give your layered smoothie an extra touch of colour, try using natural dyes like seaweed powder (spirulina), which can be green or blue. Matcha tea, acai powder and turmeric are other good options.

So, you now know how to make layered smoothies, their properties, and everything you need to do to surprise your guests with something creative and a bit different. People will never again use the word ‘boring’ when talking about your smoothies! Are you ready to throw yourself into the world of layers…?

If you want to know what to combine your smoothies with, here are the best ideas!

Raspberry Love, the smoothie that all palates love

Raspberry Love, the smoothie that all palates love

There is a clear focus in this post: our smoothie Raspberry Love. We would like to tell you about this smoothie that is as pleasing for its colour as it is for its flavour. When we say that all palates love this smoothie, it is because it combines several flavours that give it a great balance: not quite sweet and not quite bitter. It is the perfect combination.

If you haven’t tried it yet, after reading what we’ll share below, it is sure to become your favourite.

Raspberry Love: a blend of flavours

Our Raspberry Love smoothie combines several flavours. It is made for when you fancy something sweet, but not too sweet. This is achieved thanks to the raspberry, which, although its taste tends to be sweet and sour, can be eaten raw without being too bitter. This velvety fruit also gives it an exquisite aroma, which your sense of smell will love.

Blueberries are also another fruit you can find in our Raspberry Love. These berries, which belong to the forest fruits family, are dark blue in colour, which gives the smoothie its unique colour. Like all the fruit in our products, the blueberries are picked and frozen when they are perfectly ripe, which, together with our preparation tips, helps the fruit retain its vitamins and benefits.

In complete contrast, is the banana flavour in this smoothie. This is the fruit that adds that sweet touch to our smoothie. Plus, its smooth and soft texture makes it easy to make your smoothie bowl. Don’t be put off by the amount of sugar in a banana. They are good sugars, and we don’t let the fruit fully ripen, avoiding a high sugar content. The banana is frozen at the perfect time to maintain high levels of antioxidants and its high fibre content.

When to drink your Raspberry Love

All of our smoothies are made to be enjoyed at any time of the day. But if we had to pick a time, we would pick the evening, after a day at the beach, for example. It will help to cool you down and hydrate you after being in the sun.

But it’s also a perfect smoothie to enjoy for an evening at the cinema in any of the 6 Reels Cinemas in Dubai. In a nutshell, it is a smoothie to complement any plans you may have this summer.
