Caribbean Kiss Smoothie, a midsummer night’s dream

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?

At Life Smoothies we supply smoothies to the United Arab Emirates. Many cafés, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, gyms, catering companies and food trucks trust in us. Try it too and start offering a unique product in your business: +971 (04) 354 2232 / [email protected]

Smoothies with iced tea: a delicious, healthy choice

SMOOTHIES WITH ICED TEA

Imagine combining fruits, vegetables, nuts and all the properties of tea. In this post we would like to tell you about this original idea that you might like to give a go when making your smoothies, also known as smooteas. 😉

At LifeSmoothies we always recommend making smoothies by adding our frozen fruit sachet to the blender together with 250 ml of water or apple juice. Apple juice is perfect to give you that neutral touch and to enjoy all the flavour that our fruits have to offer.

But apart from apple juice, other options that can also be great for the smoothie of your choice are other types of fruit juices, coconut water, vegetable drinks or, as we will talk about, tea. Remember that you can add more or less to play with the texture. This way, you can make it thicker or thinner and add the toppings you want without them sinking.

What teas can you try in your smoothies?

There are teas with very distinctive flavours that you may like more or less. We recommend starting with teas with mild flavours or even fruit flavours, regardless of their properties.

A good choice is white tea, also known as beauty tea, as it has a mild, sweet and floral taste. Its colour is also pale and velvety, and it has become very popular among tea lovers. It is made in a way so that it is minimally processed, so we can enjoy all its benefits whilst also tasting delicious. It is also the variety of tea with the highest antioxidant content, so it’s all good for you!

Continuing with mild flavours, green tea is perhaps the next in terms of subtle flavour. This tea is one of the most popular and is perfect if you’re someone who drinks their smoothie in the morning, as green tea is a great substitute for coffee and to start the day in top form. 😊 It is also very rich in antioxidants, just like our fruits, and lowers the level of bad cholesterol.

For the more daring, red tea is a good option if you’re looking for more intense flavours. It is made using a slow fermentation, which is what makes it a very distinctive tea in terms of aroma, colour and taste. This tea is a great diuretic and helps to burn fat, so it’s also a very healthy combination to keep taking care of yourself with smoothies.

And finally, you can also try our smoothies with different fruit teas. There is now a wide variety of options available. For example, if your favourite smoothie is our Mango Paradise, you can try making it with a mango-flavoured tea, which will enhance its main ingredient. There is also a berry tea that would go perfectly with our Raspberry Love and enhance the flavour of the raspberries and blueberries.

We recommend making the tea in the evening, and when it cools, keep it in the fridge until the next day. This way it will be nice and fresh when it is time to drink it.

With this smoothie idea you’ll still get a refreshing drink that we love so much at this time of the year. They will also help you manage your weight as they provide a lot of antioxidants, which, together with the power of the fruit, will make your smoothie the perfect healthy option to continue taking care of yourself this summer.

Travel through the flavours of our smoothies, discover the destinations

Travel through the flavours of our smoothies, discover the destinations

A photo, a book, a dream… There are many things that can help us travel without physically moving. But we cannot forget the intense flavours, those that we enjoy with every sip and that we never want to end, such as our smoothies.

Eating foods that we love is a pleasure for our senses, and if you also feel like you are taking care of yourself, the pleasure multiplies. Our smoothies contain intense, delicious flavours that once you try them you will wish they would never end. They are a journey for the senses. Have you already experienced this?

If you have already tried them, you may agree with the list we will share with you below, because the flavours of our smoothies can also help you travel around the world. Ready to take off!

Mango Paradise will take you to India

As its name suggests, our smoothie will take you to a true paradise full of colours and flavours: India. Mango is one of the main fruits in our smoothie, and nowadays there are many varieties of this fruit around the world, but it originates from Asia.

Even though the rest of the ingredients, such as pineapple and passion fruit, are originally from Brazil, the flavour and colour of our smoothie takes us to this great country. It reminds us of the Akshardham Temple located in the capital, New Delhi, for its orange colour so characteristic of mangoes. The temple is also a symbol of peace, one of the many sensations you will feel when enjoying your Mango Paradise.

Next stop… Puerto Rico with Tropi Colada

Our Tropi Colada smoothie is a super healthy option that can rival the best cocktails you can enjoy in the Caribbean islands. The freshness you will feel when drinking it, and the flavour of pineapple, coconut and banana, will make an incredible contrast that will help cool down its warm tropical climate.

Puerto Rico is an island full of colour and life, but its beaches are perhaps one of its greatest attractions; its crystal-clear waters, its palm trees, and, above all, its fine white sand. It is perhaps this nuance that most reminds us of this dream destination and is perfect to enjoy in summer.

Fly to Brazil with our Acai Kick

Of course, the açai is a berry native to Brazil, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and is also considered an anti-aging food. So, you will never be too old to travel to Brazil. 😉

The colour of our Acai Kick smoothie reminds us of the wild flora so common in the Amazon, one of the most vibrant regions on the planet. Also, together with the other fruits in this smoothie, which are banana, mango and blueberry, they make this smoothie a real journey; and when you taste it, your senses will remember it forever.

Travel through the flavours of our smoothies, discover the destinations

Want to visit Greece? Try our Raspberry Love

Apparently raspberries originated from Greece, and it is one of the main fruits you will find in our Raspberry Love smoothie. You could say that our smoothie is a drink of the gods because of the numerous nutrients in its fruits: blueberry, banana and the above-mentioned raspberry.

The red colour of the raspberries even makes us think of the goddess Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love, because this fruit is rich in antioxidants and great for your skin. Our Raspberry Love is a temple dedicated to this Greek goddess.

Travel through the flavours of our smoothies, discover the destinations

As you can see, you don’t need to leave home to travel around the world. All you need is a good sense of taste, a bit of imagination and an open mind; the flavours of our smoothies will do the rest. 😉

Now that you know a little more about them, discover the perfect smoothie for your summer.

Chromotherapy with your smoothies, experience full colour

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Have you ever heard of chromotherapy with food? Our smoothies, as well as being delicious and full of nutrients, are a pleasure to look at because they are full of colour and life. So, you can practice some chromotherapy with our smoothies, and it will be another perfectly unique way to take care of yourself.

Chromotherapy is about taking care of yourself by focusing on the pigments that give food some colour, such as in this case fruit and vegetables, because they have a protective function for the body. But also, colours produce in us sensations that help our body and mind, by influencing our mood and feelings.

This technique has been studied in psychology and can be applied in other fields, for example, in marketing, in film and even in decorating spaces, looking for different environments and sensations.

Want to discover what each colour of our smoothies hides? Then read on 😊

Tropi Colada: White or light colours

In general, the colour white is said to bring light, transparency, peace and harmony; but it also brings security and honesty. It is a positive and healthy colour, as there are many foods that are white on the inside or outside and are delicious and rich in potassium and antioxidants.

White is not the absence of colour, but in fact it has about 67 different shades. And although our Tropi Colada smoothie is not completely white, it contains foods such as coconut and banana, which tend to be light foods, so it falls within this colour and its qualities.

The coconut in our Tropi Colada is a fruit with antioxidant properties, regulates blood pressure and is rich in fibre and minerals. The banana also has high nutritional properties, which makes this smoothie a great choice to start taking care of yourself. 😉

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Green Machine: Green colour

The colour green represents nature and hope, but it is also related to health. Many foods, especially vegetables, are green, and are generally rich in potassium, vitamins and folic acid.

In our case, the Green Machine smoothie, is made with spinach, celery and broccoli, which is what gives it its green colour and makes it a nutritionally super smoothie.

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Strawberry Split: Red colour

The colour red represents energy, warmth and has a life-giving component, because it is the colour of our blood. Many foods also contain this natural pigment because they are rich in antioxidants and help circulation, memory and play an important role in protecting the skin.

Our Strawberry Split smoothie has this reddish colour due to the strawberries, cherries and papaya in it. Together with banana, they make this smoothie delicious and even addictive. That’s why the colour red is also a symbol of caution, because once you try our smoothie you won’t want to stop drinking it, you’ll love it! 😉

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Acai Kick and Raspberry Love: Purple colour

This colour is a symbol of elegance and spirituality, as well as luxury. It is related to the world of dreams, imagination and promotes creativity. Eating foods of this colour, such as blueberries, helps anti-ageing, which is perhaps why it is so widely used in children’s food.

Our Acai Kick and Raspberry Love smoothies have such a characteristic colour thanks to this small fruit rich in properties. The height of luxury! 😉

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Mango Paradise and Caribbean Kiss: Orange and yellow colours

These colours are mainly found in citrus fruits and symbolise fun and energy. Fruits such as mango, melon and pineapple in our smoothies are rich in vitamins and minerals, which will fill you with the strength and energy to start the day right.

Chromotherapy with your smoothies

Now that you know the meaning behind the colours, discover which is your favourite fruit and we’ll tell you the perfect smoothie for you.

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.

Raspberry Love, the smoothie that all palates love

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.

Did you know that its flavours can also “teleport” you? Discover the destinations and how you can travel through our smoothies.

Welcome September with your smoothies and new healthy resolutions

Welcome September smoothies healthy resolutions

We know that there are still some summer days left, but September is usually synonymous with getting back into the routine and the end of the holidays for many. It is also often the time when we look back and remember those resolutions we still have to keep before the end of the year.

Because summer is a time to enjoy, and although we like to continue taking care of ourselves, for example, by drinking our refreshing smoothies, these are also the days when we tend to deviate a little. Perhaps you have exercised less than usual, or enjoyed different, delicious, but less healthy meals. The most important thing is also to enjoy yourself!

So, if this speaks to you, don’t worry. If you read on, you’ll see that our tips can help you get off to the best start as you go back to work or school.

Exercising from less to more

This advice, above all, is aimed at those who have stopped a bit of physical activity and have been spending more time resting. Well done! But it’s time to get the body up to speed.

Our body has a memory, and that’s the good thing about having kept an exercise routine throughout the year. Even so, we recommend that you start from less to more so you do not end up worn out and also to avoid unwanted injuries. However, if you’re going to start exercising after the holidays, it’s never too late! We also recommend that you start off slowly so that you can stick to the routine and not tire yourself out too much.

It is always good to keep hydrated and have your energy up to full strength before exercising. Our Green Machine smoothie will help boost your energy thanks to its fruit and vegetables, so don’t wait any longer and add it to your diet! 😊

Welcome September smoothies healthy resolutions

Organise your daily meals

Another important point to bear in mind is how little time we have when we come back off holiday. Eating out often becomes one of our favourite activities: trying different foods, tasting other cultures or enjoying delicious desserts.

To organise your daily meals and continue taking care of yourself, we recommend that you do a weekly shopping for what you need and plan what you are going to eat. This will help you to take care of yourself more and to avoid raiding the fridge or throwing food away, because if you buy too much food it can go bad.

For your weekly menus, we recommend you bear in mind the wide variety of smoothies we have, which will allow you to enjoy different flavours every day. You can buy them at any of our distribution centres. As well as taking care of yourself, you’ll enjoy their incredible flavour!

Plan your activities

We want to get a lot done in less time, so we recommend you dust off your diary and start setting schedules. For example, taking up your favourite activity again, meeting up with friends or family you haven’t seen in a long time, or simply taking time to yourself. It is better to organise all your activities so that you don’t get overwhelmed by not having enough time.

One thing you’re probably looking forward to is going back to the cinema with your friends. Remember, if you decide to go, you can enjoy our fresh smoothies at any of the ‘Reels Cinema’ in Dubai. This way you can continue to take care of yourself while watching a great film – all pluses!

Welcome September smoothies healthy resolutions

We hope these tips will help you to start off September in the best way possible. And as there are still a few hot days left, why not discover different refreshing and fun ways to drink your smoothie for the rest of the summer.

5 Reasons to try our new Shakes!

5 Reasons to try our new Shakes!

Life Smoothies’ new Shakes are this year’s next big thing. They have four different flavours and are suited to all tastes and palates. Whether you like more or less sweet flavours, once you’ve tried them all, there’s sure to be one that will become your favourite. If you’ve already tried them, we’d love to hear your experience – leave us a comment telling us what you think!

If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy them yet, here are 5 reasons why you should try our Shakes, take note!

Always healthy

Both the fruit in our smoothies and the fruit in our Shakes retain all their nutritional properties. This is thanks to shock freezing, where once the ripe fruit has been picked, we use IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) without pasteurisation to ensure it is packed full of flavour and nutrients. A super effective way of keeping the fruit in perfect condition.

These are the fruits hidden in our Shakes:

  • Cherries: In season in spring and summer, are high in vitamins and potassium and help against ageing.
  • Banana: Great source of fibre that helps our digestive system.
  • Strawberries: Improve our defences this winter and are detoxifying and diuretic.

5 Reasons to try our new Shakes!

Shakes are another alternative to continue enjoying your favourite fruit all year round and alternate them with our smoothies. Aren’t they great?

They are packed full of flavour

When you are taking care of yourself, and enjoying doing so, it’s an amazing feeling. That’s why you’ll love drinking our Shakes, without feeling guilty.

Our Cherry & Chocolate has all the flavour of this fun fruit, to which we also add the flavour of chocolate. A real treat in the form of a Shake, you’ll feel like you’re enjoying a delicious dessert.

Vanilla lovers are in luck, because you’ve now found your favourite Shake, our Vanilla Mix. As well as its flavour, it will win you over with its great aroma.

Like salted caramel? Our Banana & Salted Caramel is one of the most unique because it mixes very intense flavours and is full of contrasts. You must try it!

5 Reasons to try our new Shakes!

And finally, our Strawberry & White Chocolate. It is a very unique taste that appeals to people of all ages.

By now we must have convinced you, but read on and we’ve got even more reasons 😉

The sweet treat of the daymilk

There are times when our body asks for certain flavours, we want to enjoy sweeter foods more than savoury ones and vice versa. That’s why our Shakes can be that delicious, sweet treat to indulge in, while still taking care of yourself.

At any time of the day

They are suitable for any time of the day because their flavours are delicious. For example, some people prefer to eat fruit and sweeter foods such as pastries for breakfast. It is best to do this only every now and again, because they do not contain a lot of nutrients. So, if you want to start your day full of energy, it’s best to try one of our Shakes with your usual piece of fruit and a good cup of coffee.

It can also be a perfect dessert after meals. But you’ll definitely love to try them as an afternoon snack. This is perhaps the time of day when we indulge the most, either because we are just finishing a long day at work or because we have been to the gym. Whatever the time, they are the perfect accompaniment throughout the day.

Wherever you choose

Just like our smoothies, our Shakes are made to be enjoyed wherever you prefer. You can find them at any of our distributors. Visit your nearest one!

Now discover 5 reasons to drink smoothies every day.

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

Now that the Life Smoothies family has grown, you can plan the perfect time to enjoy our flavours, because they are for all kinds of occasions. You just need to choose between a smoothie or a shake… we know it’s a tough decision! That’s why, in this post, we’ll tell you about the perfect times to enjoy them whatever your decision is.

Throughout the day, we enjoy different occasions that require more or less energy for different people. For example, there are people who, when they get out of bed, prefer to wait for breakfast or there are people who cannot wait and need to eat as if it were a ritual. Whatever type of person you are, you’ll find your ideal smoothie or shake here, take note!

Time to take care of yourself

We know that there are days that are more complicated when everything is twice as hard. The important thing is not to lose perseverance and to find the energy to go to the gym or enjoy your favourite sport to stay active.

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

For this type of occasion we recommend, without a doubt, our Green Machine smoothie. Many of you surely already know it, but for those of you who are new to Life Smoothies, you should know that it’s like that extra battery when you’re running on empty, either before exercise or when you’ve just finished, for example. It is also ideal for taking care of yourself because it contains spinach, broccoli, banana, celery, pineapple and mango. It is the perfect natural combination to fill you with energy and vitamins.

On the other hand, there are times when we also want to continue taking care of ourselves without losing good habits. Dark chocolate has many properties, but if we combine it with cherry… doesn’t that sound delicious? That’s why we recommend our Cherry & Chocolate shake for these occasions. It’s that shot of energy that will lift your spirits high from the very start of the day.

Time to work or study

Some days we are more productive than others. That’s why we recommend our Strawberry Split for these times, because the blend of natural ingredients will awaken your senses. Ingredients include strawberries, papaya, cherries and banana. This last fruit will fill you with energy to face the day with the best attitude.

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

If we had to choose a shake for when you are working or studying, it would definitely be the Strawberry & White Chocolate, especially after a long, busy day. It is like rewarding yourself for all that hard work!  😉

Time to relax

We never get tired of saying that our Tropi Colada is perhaps our most tropical smoothie that will help you escape. So if you need a moment of peace, we recommend this mix of flavours including banana, pineapple and coconut. It will refresh you and fill you with sweetness, but in a healthy way. So all you have to worry about is enjoying a moment to yourself.

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

Did you know that smelling vanilla has sensory effects that can help you relax? That’s why you need your Vanilla shake. Its aroma is sweet and comforting, which is why it can be found in many baby products. Be mesmerised by its aroma and flavour and let it transport you to your very best dreams.

Time to have fun

Never miss those moments with your family or friends! The truth is, any of our smoothies or shakes are perfect for those special celebrations with your loved ones or simply for that catch-up with friends. But if we had to choose, we’d go for our Acai Kick smoothie. It’s one of the most unique and like those chats with your best friend, this smoothie will give you the pep talk you need.

Any time is a good time for a smoothie or a shake!

And if you’re in the mood for a shake, we’d go for the delicious Banana & Salted Caramel. On second thoughts though, it’s so tasty… be careful they don’t end up drinking it!

If you want to find out more about our new flavours, don’t miss these 5 reasons to try our new shakes!

The five perfect toppings for your smoothies this autumn

The five perfect toppings for your smoothies this autumn

With the arrival of autumn and the cold weather, we must keep up with our self-care, but that doesn’t have to mean giving up smoothies or shakes. Just the opposite in fact, it is one of the best ways to eat fruit and vegetables, providing us with the energy we need to study or work.

At Life Smoothies we have a wide variety of flavours in our smoothies and a new range of milkshakes that go perfectly with many different toppings. For example, this autumn we are all about seeds, so in this post we want to tell you about the most popular. They have a high nutritional value, and we will also tell you how they differ from each other and which product from our catalogue they go with best, so that you can enjoy Life Smoothies with the right, totally natural topping.

Chia seeds

These grains provide large amounts of potassium, protein, iron, antioxidants and are an important source of fibre, so they are considered a superfood. Chia seeds are recommended to strengthen bones, muscles and joints and help the body to function properly.

They are perfect for our sweeter smoothies and shakes, but also go well with savoury flavours. They are the perfect accompaniment to our Açai Kick, Green Machine or Raspberry Love.

Pumpkin seeds

Even the seeds of a food such as pumpkin can be used. Once dried and crushed, they can be added to cereals, yoghurts, fruit juices or smoothies. They are best known for their high content of minerals such as iron and magnesium, proteins and antioxidants such as vitamin E.

The five perfect toppings for your smoothies this autumn

Nutritionists recommend them for people who want to increase their muscle mass or, on the contrary, lose weight, as they are more filling. They also reduce fatigue, stress and have anti-inflammatory properties. What smoothie would you pair these seeds with? We know: it would be the perfect match for our Caribbean Kiss.

Flax seeds

Flax is a plant with great nutritional properties from which we can use its seeds, that can be eaten whole or ground. Like pumpkin seeds, they are also filling, which makes them ideal for weight loss. They help prevent hair loss and are recommended for skin diseases such as psoriasis. Flax goes well with fruits such as coconut or in green juices, which is why we recommend using these seeds as a topping for our Tropi Colada or Green Machine smoothies.

Sesame seeds

Sesame seeds have left behind their supporting role on industrial hamburger buns and are now seen as a complete food with high doses of vitamin E, B, calcium, as well as their high amount of plant-based protein. Eating sesame seeds boosts memory and increases the ability to concentrate, making it a highly recommended food for students. Apples and bananas are sesame’s best friends. Combine sesame seeds with our Strawberry Split, Tropi Colada or Raspberry Love and enjoy your smoothie!

The five perfect toppings for your smoothies this autumn

Poppy seeds

From the inside of the flowers, poppy seeds are an increasingly popular ingredient in smoothies. Aware of their rising popularity, we are happy to support this rise due to their high iron and calcium content. They are also a great source of vitamin A, helping to protect and improve skin in diseases such as psoriasis, atopy and rosacea. It is also highly recommended to include these seeds in diets for athletes or vegetarian or vegan diets: What could be better than adding them to our Green Machine smoothie?

Enjoy our smoothies all year round!

Enjoy our smoothies all year round!

We can now enjoy more comfortable temperatures here in Dubai, as winter brings milder temperatures and drier conditions. Also, during this month, the hours of sunlight gradually decrease but that should not prevent you from enjoying your nice cold smoothie. In this post we want to give you a number of reasons why we strongly recommend our products for these months as well. Are you ready?

The best way to have our daily portion of fruits and vegetables

Now that we are approaching the Christmas season, known for its excesses, we need to make sure that we eat the recommended amount of both fruits and vegetables. One of the fastest and most reliable ways to do this is with our smoothies, which have a great nutritional value and the best combinations to make this “obligation” something delicious.

Enjoy our smoothies all year round!

We must also point out the enormous benefits of these drinks for our bodies: they are easy to digest, have multiple vitamins, antioxidant properties, nutrients that strengthen our defences and provide us with enough energy to face the day without having to go overboard with stimulating drinks like tea and coffee.

Compatible with a hectic lifestyle

Lately our pace of life is becoming more and more hectic, between classes, exams, work, home, gym and childcare, etc. we barely have time to prepare a complete, nutritious meal. That is why smoothies can be our greatest ally. They are quick to make and, above all, quick to drink, and as part of our daily diet they give us that much needed boost without wasting time. What more do you need to join the Life Smoothies family?

Also, our smoothies are not only the perfect addition to a healthy and nutritious diet, but they are also the best choice for weight loss diets or for athletes. In our catalogue you can find smoothies that are more energy-boosting, antioxidant or with more vegetables, like our Green Machine, perfect for a detox diet, that can cleanse the body of toxins and waste.

Enjoy our smoothies all year round!

Fruits such as blueberries, raspberries and apples, or vegetables such as broccoli and spinach, are typical of this time of year and make many tasty combinations possible. Life Smoothies also help us to eat seasonal foods like mango, strawberry, coconut and pineapple throughout the year, without having to wait for them to flower.

Prevent the onset of diseases

It’s always important to be prepared and to strengthen our bodies and our defences to avoid any colds that may appear, for example, with the temperature differences between indoors and outdoors. However, eating fruit and vegetable smoothies not only prevents, but their high amounts of vitamins, proteins and minerals also help to combat the onset of cardiovascular diseases, among others.

Enjoy our smoothies all year round!

As you can see, there are many benefits to our products and if one thing is clear, it is that our fruit and vegetable smoothies can be enjoyed every month of the year. So, don’t wait any longer and add Life Smoothies into your daily routine!
