The benefits of frozen fruit

alt_frozen fruit

In countries all around the world, the consumption of frozen products has increased significantly in recent years. The many benefits they offer along with the limited spare time in today’s busy pace of life, makes this a great option for many people. In addition, over time, many studies and specialists have done much to break down the false myths that surrounded this type of product.

Fruit is certainly one of the foods that is best suited to this method of preservation, as its frozen version provides many benefits over fresh versions. In this post, we’ll explain some of its advantages. All Life Smoothies smoothies are made up of frozen fruit and vegetable combinations. In this post we’re tell you some of the benefits.

alt_frozen fruit

MAIN BENEFITS

 

More convenient! No need to wash, cut, or peel.

One of the main benefits of frozen fruit compared to fresh are to do with saving time and greater convenience. Most frozen fruit comes ready to eat – all you have to do is open your freezer, take it out and wait for it to defrost. Being unwilling to do the steps prior to this (such as washing, cutting and peeling) is one of the barriers to people eating fruit. And with frozen fruit, it’s not an issue. This is a very important aspect for individual consumers, but even more so for professionals in the hotel and catering industry, where profit margins go up if production time is reduced. As we explained in another post on this blog, Life Smoothies offers a range of facilities to hospitality businesses.

Your favourite fruit all year round.

Another barrier that frozen fruit breaks down is that of time. Thanks to this preservation method, you can enjoy your favourite seasonal products all year round. Do you run a hotel business? Think of the potential options that this offers you – such as putting your customers’ favourite products on your menus regardless of the season and the high cost of out-of-season products.

alt_frozen strawberries

 At its best.

The fruit is harvested at its optimum moment of ripeness and, in the case of Life Smoothies, is washed, cleaned, prepared and frozen within 24 hours. You will therefore be able to eat it at its best, with all its freshness and texture that fresh fruit has often lost by the time it gets to your table.

Same nutritional value as fresh fruit.

This is one of the false myths that goes around about frozen foods. Fruit when frozen retains all the properties, vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit – something that is very important for consumers’ health.

alt_frozen cherry

Very resistant to the passage of time!

One of the main disadvantages of fresh fruit is that it goes off quickly which means you need to go to the supermarket more frequently to replenish your fruit bowl or fridge. This is not the case with frozen fruit, which can often be kept in the freezer for up to one year (there are exceptions).

As you can see, frozen fruit offers many advantages, both for your business and for private consumption.

Cinema Smoothies

If you’re the kind of person who orders popcorn and a fizzy drink every time you go to the cinema, you might be a little tired of always having the same menu and the same sugary drinks. To enjoy your film just as much but with a healthier option, we suggest a smoothie.

Maybe you haven’t seen this option in any cinema you’ve been to before and you may think that it’s only possible if you bring it from home. Well, you’re wrong. If you’re in Dubai, there are cinemas where you can watch a film with one of our tasty smoothies.

Reel Cinemas

Reel Cinemas has up to six locations in Dubai where you can sample a wide variety of snacks and menus while enjoying the latest releases. Sit back and relax in your spacious chair with a built-in table for your menu to go on, with one of our delicious smoothies.

There is a combination for each type of film or for each mood. A “Green Machine” is perfect for an action film, full of energy and vitality just like this smoothie. If you’re more of a romantic, you must try a “Raspberry Love” or “Caribbean Kiss” with your film.

To relax in your large chair at Reel Cinemas and to take you to distant worlds with an exotic touch, there’s nothing better than our “Tropi Colada” or “Mango Paradise”.  And for the more adventurous the “Acai Kick” will transport you to science fiction planets with its unique taste.

Mango Paradise smoothie, our most exotic flavour

Mango Paradise smoothie.

Close your eyes, imagine you are on a deserted beach, with fine sand and crystal clear blue waters. Not working? That’s because you need a small taste of it to transport you there. You need a Mango Paradise smoothie, our most exotic flavour.

 

The best combination of ingredients

 

At Life Smoothies each piece of fruit is selected to guarantee quality. The fruit is never damaged or too ripe, as it is picked when it is perfectly ripe.

 

For this smoothie, we wanted a special and exotic flavour that would transport us to paradise, and so we chose three tropical fruits: pineapple, mango and passion fruit.

 

Pineapple: Pineapple comes from Brazil, where it was found by European colonisers, but today the main producing countries are China, the United States, Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines, Costa Rica and Mexico.

 

Mango: Mango, however, despite what we may think is native to Asia. Specifically, it is known to have been traded in parts of India, Sri Lanka and the Himalayas since ancient times.

 

Passion fruit: Commonly known as passion fruit, it is native to Central and South America.

 

It is precisely the tropical and Ecuadorian origin of all these fruits that transports us to the most heavenly landscapes when we eat them. But if we mix them all together, the result is even better. The softness and freshness of the mango contrasts with the strong flavour of the pineapple and passion fruit. If we also turn them into a smoothie, we will feel like we are on holiday, sipping on summer.

al_mango paradise smoothie

 

Natural properties, additive-free

 

But best of all, it is a guilt-free pleasure. Our Life Smoothies are a healthy and recommended treat. Precisely because of the ingredients and the way we make them.

 

Passion fruit for example, is perfect for recharging your energy levels on a hectic day or in extreme heat. Pineapple is fantastic for when you are on a diet because of its high water and fibre content. Lastly, mango is very rich in nutrients including potassium, magnesium, provitamin A and vitamin C.

 

So, with all these ingredients we get a smoothie that is only 70 calories, with no saturated or trans fats, and with only 17 grams of sugar that is not added sugar, but naturally present in the fruit.

 

Of course, in keeping with our philosophy, none of our smoothies contain any colourants or preservatives. And Mango Paradise is no exception.

 

The yellow colour you get when mixing it with milk, water or yoghurt will give you that typical tropical fruit colour.

 

It is bursting with nutrients that, thanks to our IQF technology, preserves the fruit from the moment it is picked until it reaches your glass.

 

Perfectly preserved

 

Because there’s no point in picking the healthiest and tastiest fruits if they come to you spoiled, that’s why at Life Smoothie we use IGF technology that allows us to preserve the fruit and its nutrients in perfect condition.

 

We have an ultra-fast freezing system that prevents the product from defrosting during the process. Each piece of fruit takes one or two seconds to reach freezing temperature instead of the several hours it typically takes.

 

This process guarantees the good condition of the fruit in every aspect. It retains its quality, taste and nutrients.

 

alt_smoothie mango paradise

Easy to prepare

 

Like our other smoothies, Mango Paradise comes in a sealed pack with the pieces of fruit already selected, washed and cut and in the right proportions for the right flavour.

 

In fact, it contains the fruit needed to make a smoothie, which has great benefits:

 

  • For your convenience. There is no need to wash, clean, peel, cut, chop or slice fruit. You just have to open our bag and mix it with a liquid in a blender and that’s it.
  • No waste: each pack of Smoothie Solutions contains just the right amount of quick frozen fruit to make a perfect smoothie.
  • All year round: While fresh fruit is only sold in season, our Life Smoothie bags are available all year round. We pick the fruit at the right time and freeze it quickly so that it is available for the remaining months.

 

Are you convinced yet? If you would like to taste or distribute our Mango Paradise or any other of our products, please call us at +971 52 392 1761 or send an email to [email protected].

We would be happy to explain how we make our Life Smoothies full of love.

Tropi Colada Smoothie, our sweetest smoothie

Who wouldn’t like to be on a beach enjoying a Tropi Colada by the sea? Everyone! We can’t take you physically to one of these paradises, but through the sense of taste we can at the very least make you taste this experience. We invite you to try one of the most popular Life Smoothies: our Tropi Colada smoothie, our sweetest smoothie. You just have to close your eyes and every sweet and refreshing sip will take you to one of these picture-postcard beaches creating a magical parenthesis in your routine.

Tropi Colada ingredients

As you know, at Life Smoothies, we believe that one of the key things that make the difference are the ingredients, that’s why we always use high quality fruits. Selected with the utmost care and frozen when they are perfectly ripe, so that you get delicious moments in a smoothie.

Tropi Colada contains three delicious fruits: banana, mango and coconut. The three together are an explosion of sensations: a mixture between sweet and refreshing, which will make you happy no matter how bad the day has been. Although it is not only a question of taste, the ingredients of this smoothie are also great for your health.

Tropi Colada

Banana

Few fruits are as complete as this one.

Defence for your body against bacteria

Its high level of vitamins generates a protective layer against bacteria, improving our immune system and increasing our body’s defence mechanism.

Great for losing weight

Bananas are filling, so they can help you avoid snacking between meals and stop you from choosing other less healthy options, such as more sugary products. This does not mean that you should follow a diet that heavily features bananas but adding it into your routine can bring you benefits.

Mango

Sweet tasting and creamy textured, mango is one of the reasons we love fruit. It also has numerous health benefits.

Improves your digestion

Its high fibre and water content helps promote proper digestion.

Protects eye health

Among many of its benefits, mangos stand out because they can improve your eye health. This is due to their zeaxanthin content and some of their antioxidants, which can prevent macular degeneration, one of the main causes of blindness in adults.

Prevents heart disease

Believe it or not, mangos help you reduce that excess body fat and manage the amount of sugar in our blood, which will help protect your heart from different diseases.

Coconut

This fruit, which comes from one of the most widely grown plants in the world, the palm, is a nutritional treasure trove.

Hydrating

An isotonic drink with no processing or added sugars. It is a fruit low in fat and sugars that provides healthy calories, enhancing the body’s hydration.

Energising

Perfect for those times when you need an energy boost, which makes it ideal for adding to smoothies like Tropi Colada, don’t you think?

Antioxidant

Two of the components of coconut are excellent natural antioxidants, selenium and zinc, which is why coconut is used for cosmetics and beauty products.

Preparation

Now that we’ve told you all the benefits of our smoothie Tropi Colada, here’s how you can prepare it. You will see that it is really simple, and you will be able to start enjoying it in a matter of seconds.

Tropi colada

Your smoothie will come ready in a small bag that already contains everything you need.

The fruit will be pre-cut and washed so all have to do is open it, mix with the liquid you like and enjoy your drink.

Each bag contains the amount needed to make the smoothie taste perfect, so you don’t have to waste any fruit.

You can enjoy it all year round because our smoothies are available when you need them. This is because the fruit is cut at their best and is immediately frozen, allowing all their nutrients and vitamins to be retained.

We hope you try our Tropi Colada smoothie, our sweetest smoothie and enjoy it as much as we do. If you have any questions, you can find us on social media, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Share your creations and tag us!

Tips to make your smoothie a perfect smoothie

It feels so good to have a smoothie after a workout. It make us happy when we can enjoy a leisurely breakfast with our smoothie. And it is so easy to have a smoothie rich in fruits when we don’t have time for more. Yes, it’s true, all our good plans always include the word smoothie, we are passionate about them and we want to pass this on to you too. However, in order to fall in love with this drink you need to try the best ones. Of course, for us these are Life Smoothies. In this post we will share with you some tips to make your smoothie a perfect smoothie.

1. Dare to experiment

With Life Smoothies you can skip this step. On our website you can find a wide range of smoothies ready to make. We share different options and combinations with you. But sometimes we like to experiment and find new flavours. Don’t be afraid to add, subtract and play with the ingredients in your smoothies. Who knows, you might find the perfect formula.

2. Mix with an idea in mind

It’s fine to experiment, but always remember to do so with a purpose. The last thing we want to do is waste food because we didn’t like one of our combinations. On our blog you will find recipes you can use as a guide when making a smoothie.

3. Fruit always frozen

At Life Smoothies we pick the fruit when it is perfectly ripe, freeze it and distribute it in bags with the exact amount that each smoothie should contain. This way, stores can serve our smoothies following our formula and with zero waste.

4. The perfect amount of liquid

This is one of the most important points. Too much liquid can turn your smoothie into soup, whereas too little liquid can turn it into ice cream.   Control the quantities, especially if you are improvising a recipe.

At Life Smoothies the best combination is apple juice as it has a neutral flavour.

5. Work with what you’ve got

We’ve said it before. Add the ingredients you think are best for your smoothie and create different versions. But you do not need to buy new fruit or vegetables for this. Use what you have around you to create new combinations.

If you have any leftover smoothie once you have made it, you can use it again to make ice cream. You will surprise more than one person with this option, especially the kids. Who doesn’t like a good ice cream?

6. A perfectly healthy dessert

If your smoothie is part of a dessert, we recommend you leave it in the fridge after blending. Just before it is finished, take it out, and blend it again for a few seconds. This way the smoothie will be ready for you to finish the dessert.

Why do this? Because then the texture will be perfect to be able to finish it and it will be a guaranteed hit.

7. Make the most of your smoothie with good presentation.

Good presentation is everything. This original touch is sure to be a hit with anyone who sees it. You can choose different glasses with some cheerful decorations or different to what you usually use. Add decorations, paper straws, toppings, unique spoons and leftover pieces of fruit or pieces that you want to add. It will most certainly be a great surprise for anyone who tries it.

8. The blender

Believe it or not, a good blender is also very important for a perfect smoothie. Modern blenders have very powerful blades that allow you to crush even ice cubes in a matter of seconds. This means you can use frozen fruit to create the best recipe.

9. Last but not least

The last piece of advice we can give you is more about taking care of your tools. We know that sometimes cleaning a blender is no easy task, especially the blades. Here’s a little tip on how to clean it properly and still be able to make perfect smoothies. Once the blender has been used, add a little lukewarm water, covering the blades and not too hot as this could damage it. Add a little bit of soap, turn it on for 5-10 seconds and that’s it. Your blender will be sparkling clean and ready for another smoothie.

 

Try all our tips and enjoy a perfect smoothie. Share your results with us!

Mistakes to avoid when making your smoothie

There are many ways to make smoothies, but sometimes we don’t know the product or the ingredients well enough and we make mistakes which means it doesn’t turn out the way we want it to. In this post we give you some tips that you should keep in mind. Pay attention because these are some mistakes to avoid when making your smoothie.

Don’t think it’s boring and don’t let it get monotonous.

If you get bored of always having the same smoothie, try different ones! The combinations are endless, the variety goes as far as your creativity. If you’re short of ideas, you can take a look at the Life Smoothies catalogue, you definitely won’t get bored of any of these.  And you don’t always have to drink it as a liquid, you can also freeze it and enjoy it as an ice cream in the shape you want by using different moulds.

Fruit and ice? Go for frozen fruit.

Big mistake! Some people think that using fresh fruit and a little ice will give your smoothie the same feel and texture as freezing the fruit. This is one of the most common mistakes made. If ice is used instead of frozen fruit, some of the nutrients and minerals in the fruit pieces can get diluted. That’s why we give you the exact amounts of each ingredient in each sachet, so you only have to add the minimum amount of extra liquid and enjoy a great smoothie. Life Smoothies fruit is picked and frozen when it is perfectly ripe.

Too much sugar

A lot of people tend to add too much sugar to their smoothies, offsetting any health benefit of the smoothie. Leave it out. Life Smoothie products do not contain added sugars, preservatives or colourants, so you can enjoy a natural drink whenever you want.

Too many ingredients

We said above that you should let your imagination run wild, but don’t get too carried away. A bad combination of fruits or too many ingredients can ruin the smoothie. With Life Smoothies you won’t have that problem, because we have already prepared the best combinations for you in the right balance, so that you can enjoy them wherever you want or serve them in your business.

There’s more to life than fruit

People don’t live on fruit alone, and smoothies are not just about fruit. Also try adding vegetables and enjoy the result. At Life Smoothies we have our Green Machine, where we mix broccoli, spinach, celery, banana, mango and pineapple.

You can also add nuts and seeds as a topping.

BONUS: Wash the blender in the sink

Cleaning the blender is always a challenge, no matter how big or small it is. Today we share with you a useful tip so that you can clean it quickly without wasting time. Fill it about halfway with warm water, add a little bit of soap, turn it on for a few seconds and that’s it! Rinse it out and your blender will be ready to use again.

What did you think of this blog? We hope you will put the tips and ideas we have given you into practice. Don’t forget to tag us.

You can find all our smoothies and lots of interesting blog posts on our website. You can also try our products in the UAE and Middle East. Remember that there is much more information, tips and ideas on our social media channels Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Core Smoothie Caribbean Kiss-Half Glass-Half Fruits 
Caribbean Kiss Smoothie, a midsummer night's dream

Summer is just around the corner and there is only one thing on our minds: enjoying the good weather, both day and night. We have a lot of things to do this time of the year, but, perhaps, what we most want to do is to be by the pool, go to the beach and sunbathe.

For these great summer plans, any of our smoothies would be the perfect accompaniment, but for now we want to talk about our Caribbean Kiss.

Its blend of flavours is a journey for the senses to the Caribbean. It perfectly blends the flavours of strawberry, mango and melon; three perfect fruits for this time of the year. In the daytime it will refresh you, and in the evening it will be the best accompaniment because it is a healthy, refreshing, hydrating and, of course, delicious option.

Want to know more about its ingredients? Then read on!

Caribbean Kiss Smoothie summer

Caribbean Kiss Smoothie Ingredients

Strawberries: It is probably the most popular ‘natural sweet’, because strawberries can be combined with so much and add a delicious flavour to everything. We are also lucky to have the IQF system to freeze the fruit within the first 24 hours of picking it, so we can enjoy this fruit all year round. Best of all, it will retain all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals, and without having to add preservatives or colourings. It’s wonderful!

Strawberries are mainly made up of water, which makes them very low in calories (e.g. 100 g of strawberries contain about 35 Kcal). Its nutrients include vitamin C, which strengthens the body’s defences, and vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. They are also rich in potassium and fibre that regulates intestinal transit.

Mango: Mango is another fruit that you will find in our Caribbean Kiss that gives it a very special touch. As well as flavour, mango is also an incredible fruit. As well as all its many properties, mango helps prevent diseases, helps us to look after our eyes thanks to its vitamin A content, provides many benefits to our skin and helps improve our memory, etc. Eating this fruit every day is a great idea!

Melon: It is well known that one of the characteristics of melon is its high water content, which keeps us hydrated throughout the day. That’s why our Caribbean Kiss Smoothie is perfect for this time of the year.

It is sweet and refreshing; and it also contains a lot of interesting  properties. It has high collagen content, so we could say that eating melon can help keep us young. It is also good for the nervous and muscular system due to its potassium content.

Imagine the explosion of nutrients with a Caribbean Kiss, it’s the perfect way to pamper your body!

How do I make it?

At LifeSmoothies we have many clients who sell our smoothies so that you can enjoy them wherever you are.

You simply need to buy your bag with the Caribbean Kiss ingredients. The bag is perfectly sealed so that the product is preserved at its very best. The fruit pieces are pre-selected, washed and prepared in the right amounts so that, when you finish making it, it will have our smoothie’s characteristic taste.

Add the bag of fruit to your blender and mix with 250 ml of water, or apple juice. If you want to make it with juice, we think that apple juice is best as it is neutral without changing the smoothie’s characteristic flavour too much.

In just 30 seconds you can travel to the Caribbean without ever leaving home… Sounds like a great plan, right?
