Tell us your favourite fruit and we’ll tell you the perfect smoothie for you

favourite fruit perfect smoothie

As we grow up, we develop different tastes in food, our palate changes and we start to like foods that we may not have eaten before, and vice versa. When we were kids, we may have liked sweeter flavours, but now we like stronger flavours.

As they say, to each their own, and for each flavour there’s… Life Smoothies! 😉 Meaning in our range we have smoothies for all tastes. And if not, take a look at our list of fruits, you’re sure to find your favourite smoothie by the time you’ve finished reading.

Strawberry – Strawberry Split

This fruit is a classic, and we believe it is a great favourite among children and adults alike. Luckily, we can enjoy it all year round thanks to our IQF system, we pick the strawberries, prepare them and flash freeze them, so they retain their nutritional properties and their flavour.

This smoothie includes strawberries, banana, papaya and cherry; so, if you are a big lover of this fruit… congratulations! You’ve found your perfect smoothie 😊

Banana – Acai Kick

Bananas, the so-called ‘fruit of love’, are also in many of our smoothies. It is a very versatile and thickening fruit, which makes for a fuller smoothie. So, if this is your favourite fruit, one of your perfect smoothie options may very well be our Acai Kick. In this fun smoothie, you’ll also find mango, acai (hence the name) and blueberry, which gives the smoothie its distinct colour.

The Acai Kick is a very filling smoothie that is also very rich in nutrients.

Mango – Mango Paradise

This paradise-flavoured smoothie contains not only mango, but also tropical flavours such as pineapple and passion fruit. This smoothie is perfect to recover your strength or to cool down on hot days. And no wonder there are so many lovers of this superfood, because the mango is one of the most nutritious and vitamin-packed fruits that mother nature has given us. If it wasn’t your favourite fruit before, try our smoothie and it will soon be one of them!

Melon – Caribbean Kiss

This smoothie not only has a great name, but it’s also beautiful on the outside and on the inside. It is a journey for the senses to the Caribbean, because in addition to melon, you can enjoy the flavour of mango and strawberries, which are what give it its unique touch of colour.

Coconut – Tropi Colada

Drink this smoothie and feel like you’re on holiday. Coconut lovers will be amazed by the taste of the Tropi Colada, because it combines other delicious fruits such as pineapple or banana. And if you like Piña Colada drinks, you’re in luck, because our Tropi Colada smoothie is much healthier, alcohol-free and all natural ingredients. It’s refreshing, hydrating and it’s good for you, all at the same time.

Raspberries – Raspberry Love

Without a doubt, this smoothie is one of our favourites. This delicious little fruit gives an incredible flavour to your smoothies, and if you combine it with blueberry and banana, it’s sure to become one of your favourites too. So, look no further, if you are a fan of berries this is the smoothie for you.

Pineapple – Green Machine

This fruit features in several of our smoothies, but the Green Machine is perfect for pineapple lovers and for the more adventurous. It combines spinach, celery, broccoli and also mango, an explosion of nutrients that makes this smoothie bring out the best in you.

As you can see, we all have a favourite ‘nature’s candy’, and if you’ve made it this far, I’m sure you now have a favourite smoothie too. Will you tell us what it is? 😉

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]

Caribbean Kiss Smoothie, a midsummer night's dream

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.

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.

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.

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 are reluctant to make a list of resolutions for fear of not achieving all your goals, Life Smoothies gives you our list with the best tips and rewards to make the effort worthwhile and face the new year with our optimism.

Get out of our comfort zone

We start with perhaps the most ambitious challenge. Do you want to take your life in a new direction? This is your year! We suggest you start with a new haircut, buy that piece of clothing you didn’t dare buy at the time or treat your taste buds to new flavours. One of these crazy combinations could be our Banana & Salted Caramel Shake. It is a smoothie that mixes sweet and savoury flavours to surprise you and will surely become your favourite of the year. What are you waiting for?

Want to start afresh? 2022 is the year to achieve all your resolutions.

Do more exercise

It is the number 1 resolution on everyone’s lists, and it could not be missing from ours. We know that nowadays it is very difficult to balance social life, work and exercise. But, as we said before, with some effort it will be worth it.

Start small and reward yourself with sweet but healthy treats to make your exercise almost enjoyable. When doing your workout today, just think that when you get home, our delicious Raspberry Love banana and raspberry smoothie will be waiting to sweeten your day. You will definitely want to do it again the next day! It will be the best accompaniment after your exercise routine.

Want to start afresh? 2022 is the year to achieve all your resolutions.

Eat a healthier diet

After the resolution to do more exercise, comes the well-known “this year I’m really going to watch my diet”. We think that the hardest part is to keep it up over time.

The question is: Why view eating a healthy diet as a punishment instead of as a new lifestyle? Try different recipes, fruits and vegetables until you find the winning combination.

We give you the perfect smoothie for your new healthy life. If cooking is not your passion or if you are always busy, we recommend our Green Machine Smoothie. This green smoothie with spinach, broccoli, celery, mango and pineapple will give you the energy you need to face your day and is an appetizing, quick and tasty way to eat the fruit and vegetables that your body needs every day.

Want to start afresh? 2022 is the year to achieve all your resolutions.

Treat ourselves more and take care of ourselves

We often neglect ourselves and we need to take a break once in a while, to stop the whirlwind of life in which we find ourselves to take a step back and think about what we want or what we need. We know the world is moving so quickly that we barely have time to reflect. But at Life Smoothies we have made a commitment to ourselves this year, because for everything else to work we also need to be well. So, this 2022 let’s take care of ourselves and indulge in a few treats that will bring us happiness.

This is much easier while listening to your favourite music in the background and enjoying the delicious Cherry & Chocolate Shake. Who can resist the combination of cherry and chocolate? Don’t miss it because it’s the perfect mix and match.

Start the year off right with Life Smoothies. And do you already have your list of new year’s resolutions ready? Would you add any other resolution? We think that one that cannot be left out is: ‘try the full range of Life Smoothies flavours’ 😉

Pink Dragon: pink is not just a colour, it’s a new flavour

How are you fruit lovers? We’re happy because for a few weeks now we have had some exciting new products that we’ve been looking forward to: We have a new smoothie called Pink Dragon!

In this post we want you to learn that pink is not just a colour, it is a new flavour and also full of unique nuances. Want to know which fruits are in our new Pink Dragon? Well, read on and find out, as Edith Piaf would say in her famous song, ‘La Vie en Rose’. 😉

The delicious and original dragon fruit

This fruit, also called pitaya or pitahaya, is the star ingredient of our new Pink Dragon flavour and is so special that it deserves to be talked about. Its name comes from its exterior, as it has green stems that resemble the scales of a dragon. It is an eye-catching fruit, that certainly grabs your attention, but you’ll be won over by its refreshing flavour.

Although it originates from Central America, the dragon fruit in our new smoothie comes directly from Vietnam, which is a major producer due to its favourable climate and soil.

There are two different kinds: the white dragon fruit and the pink dragon fruit. The latter variety is the star ingredient in our smoothie and the ‘culprit’ of the ‘colour block’ that is so on trend this year and that could not be missing in our range of flavours.

And it tastes just as good as it looks, if not more, because this exotic fruit has a sweet taste reminiscent of kiwi or papaya. Unlike the white variety, our pink fruit contains less sugar, but also a lot of impressive nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium and phosphorus. It also contains many vitamins such as B1, B2, B3 and C, perfect for our daily lives.

What do all these nutrients give us?

  • Vitamin C helps delay the signs of skin ageing thanks to its antioxidant properties.
  • Helps against chronic degenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
  • What it has in common with many other fruits is the amount of water it contains, which makes it a natural diuretic and will help to keep us hydrated.
  • It is low in sugars and calories, but it will keep you fuller for longer.
  • Its seeds help us to maintain good intestinal flora as it is a great source of natural fibre.

As you can see, this ingredient joins our range of fruits that are wonders of nature and that we at LifeSmoothies give you in its most delicious form: a smoothie.

Mango and strawberry also join the pink party

We would not have it any other other way. The flavour of mango and strawberry come together to give our Pink Dragon an explosion of flavours and colours that make it a great party on our palate.

Our Pink Dragon is a smoothie full of contrasts. On one hand, we have the quite unusual and little known dragon fruit, and then we have a fruit with the most followers in the world: the strawberry. This fruit is definitely the other top ingredient in terms of the colour of our smoothie.

Mango also plays a big role, because it gives the perfect texture to our Pink Dragon thanks to its fibre and its natural thickening power.

As you can see, not only will we see pink as one of the big fashion trends this year, but we will also be able to savour and enjoy it in the best way possible: in our delicious Pink Dragon smoothie!

What are you waiting for to place your order and give it a taste?

Let’s go on a trip with our smoothies and fruits!

Let's go on a trip with our smoothies and fruits! Life Smoothies

Did you know that we have the largest range of frozen fruit and vegetables ever? We’ve talked about it in previous posts, but for those of you who are new to Life Smoothies, we love to tell you how we keep fruit and vegetables packed with their natural vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Our IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) system freezes our fruit and vegetables in a sustainable, fast and individual way to retain their original shape, colour and flavour after thawing. Thanks to this system we can pack the best seasonal fruits from more than 10 different countries and deliver them directly to your home. Isn’t it magical?

This is why we wanted to showcase our fruits and tell you about some of them in this post and the countries they come from. Because the earth offers us so many different varieties of berries, tropical fruits and other more exotic fruits, let’s take you on a trip to get to know them a little better. Off we go!

Let's go on a trip with our smoothies and fruits! Life Smoothies

Our trips begins in Morocco

This country is a great source of fresh organic fruit, exporting more than 200 types of products and growing year after year, bringing its quality and variety of agri-food products to the rest of the world. The strawberries in our Strawberry Split, Caribbean Kiss and in one of our latest additions, our Pink Dragon, come from this great country. The berry family also includes the delicious blueberries as featured in Raspberry Love, Acai Kick and Beet the Heat, another of our great new smoothies.

Vietnam: the most exotic flavours

This wonderful country boasts incredible landscapes, but it is also incredible for its impressive natural flavours: its great variety of fruit that you can find in our smoothies. We would like to highlight the passion fruit of our Mango Paradise, which, thanks to Vietnam’s climate, has become the ideal place to grow it.

But perhaps our favourite is the dragon fruit because this special fruit can be found in another of our great new smoothies: our Pink Dragon. So called because it resembles the scales of a dragon; it is a beautiful fruit, unique and rich in fantastic nutrients. Thanks to the warm climate, Vietnam has become one of the largest producers, and no wonder, because it is becoming one of the most popular fruits thanks to its taste and its beauty inside and out. Isn’t it beautiful?

Let's go on a trip with our smoothies and fruits! Life Smoothies Pink Dragon

We travel to another continent to land in Peru

If you like mangoes, you should know that Peru is a major exporter and is recognised worldwide for its great quality and flavour. Also, thanks to the climate, they are lucky enough to have different varieties, all of which are delicious and full of flavour.

And of course, our Mango Paradise is the star of this trip to Peru, because thanks to this super fruit it is rich in texture and flavour, but it also provides lots of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. It is grown, harvested and shipped from the province of Piura, and it is a real delicacy!

From Peru we would also like to highlight the avocado that you will find in our new Refresh’mint. This is the season when production is at its highest for this super fruit, and it is becoming more and more coveted worldwide, not only for its flavour but also because it is a great ingredient in beauty products. And no wonder, because if it is not only good for the inside, but also the outside. We explain all its benefits to you in the blog post about our Refresh’mint smoothie.
