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

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.

Bananas, the fruit you need this summer

If we think of summer fruits, pineapple, mango or papaya are probably the ones that spring to mind, due to their high water content. Even though bananas are not often associated with summer, they are perfect for this season. Their nutritional benefits are essential for these months due to the high energy consumption and the high temperatures we are exposed to. It will give you the energy boost you need to enjoy the summer with your batteries charged and in a great mood!

It is rich in protein, fibre, vitamin B6 and C, magnesium and potassium. Bananas may have a reputation for being too sugary, but don’t worry, because they’re good sugars! We also handle this fruit with extreme care, freezing it when it is perfectly ripe in order to keep its high levels of antioxidants, its high fibre content and avoiding excess sugar. It has a delicious taste and fragrance; and its texture is creamy, smooth and velvety, with endless possibilities. If you’re not yet a fan of bananas, but you are a fan of smoothies, we’re absolutely positive you’ll find the perfect one for you at Life Smoothies!

Here’s where you can find bananas, our special fruit of the month of July:

The sweet banana in our Strawberry Split

If you love both the colour and taste of smoothies, you should try our Strawberry Split if you haven’t already. Just talking about it makes our mouths water! This smoothie is very healthy, made from natural ingredients, full of protein, nutrients and lots of flavour. We combine ingredients that you love individually, but together, they’re even better! Papaya, strawberry, cherry tomato and, of course, banana are the ingredients that make it so special. A favourite for both kids and adults!

Tropi Colada, sweet banana-flavoured sips and much more.

If you like special, sweet and refreshing flavours, your favourite smoothie could well be our Tropi Colada. This smoothie offers an explosion of sensations that is hard to beat. As well as banana, it contains mango and coconut. Doesn’t that sound heavenly? In addition to its sweetness, banana is also a great thickening fruit, so it will give more texture to your smoothies. It’s a fruity wonder!

Akai Kick, your defences in tip-top shape

For the sportier among you, we present Akai Kick. This smoothie contains mango, blueberries, acai and, of course, banana. It is one of our most powerful smoothies, because it is full of nutrients which makes it great for athletes. The banana in this smoothie, as well as giving it sweetness and texture, provides all the potassium your body needs to recover, especially during the hottest time of the year. It is important to stay fit and hydrated.

Bananas from Ecuador and straight into your smoothie

We have told you before where the bananas we use to make our smoothies come from: Ecuador. Specifically, they are grown, harvested and shipped from the province of Guayas. The country is one of the world’s largest exporters, with very large harvests and high quality bananas.

Did you know that Ecuador produces more than 500 varieties of bananas? We specifically use the Cavendish variety, which is one of the most popular and most loved varieties in the world. When it is perfect for picking, its colour tends to be soft yellow, and its texture is creamy and velvety. That’s why our smoothies are so delicious!

The bananas we use are also known as the ‘dessert banana’ and as well as their special sweetness, what makes them even more special is that they contain around 400 milligrams of potassium per 100 g. As we mentioned before, this nutrient is perfect for recovering the body after a long day, or to kick start it in the best way possible. You decide how and when to enjoy it!

Nuts: add a handful of nutrients to your smoothie moment

Want to enjoy our tasty smoothies even more? It may not seem possible to make them even more delicious, but there is a way to make their texture and flavour even more incredible. Stick around and we’ll tell you all about it!

The fruit of Life Smoothies and nuts work best together. Why? Well, for several reasons. Nuts enhance the drink, providing fibre and fatty acids, which are essential for good cardiovascular health, and they are known for being very filling, as well as helping to absorb the vitamins in fruit. In turn, the acids in fruit help to absorb the magnesium and calcium in nuts. So this perfect combination is both healthy and delicious, as the difference in texture, as well as the freshness of one and the warmth of the other make a match made in heaven. Here we tell you the best combinations to get the most out of your smoothies, take note!

Mango Paradise: pistachio

Everyone loves pistachios and mangos, so what’s not to like? If you’ve never tried this combination of the two, both sweet and savoury, you don’t know what you’re missing… These two ingredients complement each other perfectly, creating a sweet yet salty taste, both crunchy and smooth. Their textures, so different, create a delicious morsel that is hard to forget. As soon as you try it, you’ll be thanking us for it! They are also a nut full of nutrients with a host of benefits.

Green machine: walnuts

Walnuts are a nut that easily goes with any fruit or vegetable, but if we had to choose one of our smoothies, we think the perfect partner is Green Machine. This is a very healthy smoothie with lots of vegetables (spinach, broccoli, celery) and fruits (banana, mango and pineapple) that create a perfect balance due to the great amount of vitamins and antioxidants in all of them. That’s why we think walnuts are the ideal addition, as all the ingredients blend perfectly together. Walnuts also boast endless health benefits, known throughout the world and considered to be the best nut:

They contain many plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.
They provide energy, fibre and are very filling.
They have magnesium, potassium, antioxidants such as vitamin E, B6 and minerals that enhance the formation of proteins, such as zinc.

Finally, we recommend adding chia seeds and letting them sit for a while, so they will absorb the nutrients from the fruit, as well as being very filling.

Strawberry Split: hazelnuts

Here is another winning combination. Although less common, we assure you that adding hazelnuts to your Strawberry Split will make it a unique experience. The intense, sweet and toasted flavour of the hazelnuts blends perfectly with the distinctive juicy and buttery texture of the star fruit of this smoothie, the strawberries, with a taste that swings between sour and very sweet. The benefits of one of the world’s most popular nuts include:

It is one of the best plant-based sources of calcium.
It contains many antioxidants, especially vitamin E.
It is a source of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

Try it, you won’t regret it!

These ideas are just meant as a guide, because, as we said at the beginning, fruit and nuts are the perfect combination, so any combination can work and taste delicious. Try mixing your favourite nuts with your favourite smoothie yourself. Even if you might not think it’s the best combination to begin with, you’ll be surprised, because sometimes what goes least well together actually tastes the best! 😉
