5 REASONS TO DRINK SMOOTHIES EVERY DAY

Some trends go as soon as they come. This not only applies to the fashion industry, but also the food industry. We want to reclaim one of Yves Saint Laurent’s most famous quotes: “Fashions fade, style is eternal”. It can be applied to many areas of life, including food. What we mean by this is that smoothies became trendy a while ago, but they have also become a way of life for many, and they are here to stay.

If you thought about trying them but were never totally convinced, here are 5 reasons to drink smoothies every day of the week. Take a look!

1. You’ll be giving your body loads of nutrition

According to the WHO, we should eat 400 grams of fruit and vegetables a day, which is the equivalent of 5 pieces in order to stay healthy. It is very important to take care of yourself and to do so every day. That’s why having a smoothie once a day can be the solution if you’re thinking of taking better care of yourself or continuing to do so, but in a more fun and creative way. In fact, by drinking just one of our smoothies, you’ll be getting half of the recommended foods and a whole host of vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants.

You may be wondering; how can our smoothies retain all their properties? The answer lies in flash freezing. We make our smoothies from flash frozen IQF unpasteurised fruit, so they retain the taste, goodness, vitamins and minerals of freshly picked fruit.

We mustn’t forget how a good topping can add to our healthy smoothie. For example, chia seeds contain a high amount of omega 3, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Here you can see a complete list of toppings to help you take care of yourself and give your body more essential nutrients.

2. You’ll stay hydrated all day

As well as the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables, it is very important for adults to drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water per day. So, if you are someone who finds it hard to drink water, at LifeSmoothies we suggest you include our fruit and vegetable combinations into your hydration plan. This way you can provide your body with plenty of water every day with a delicious smoothie.

3. You’ll feel it day after day

Whether your goal is to lose weight, to improve your immune system or to simply continue to take care of yourself, over time you will notice a big improvement to your body. Because having a smoothie every day will make you a better version of yourself and above all help to prevent illnesses. Also, over time you will develop firmer skin and therefore prevent premature ageing.

4. You’ll save a lot of time in your daily routine

Our pace is a little faster today compared to a few decades ago and we strongly believe that time is precious. That’s why at LifeSmoothies we help make your routine more manageable as our smoothies are quick and easy to prepare.

When it comes to taking care of yourself, any time of the day is good, you just have to find the perfect moment: breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch, a tasty snack or a light dinner… there are many options and all of them are good!

5. Drinking smoothies is great fun!

Eating is a pleasure, and drinking smoothies is a delight! You can try different flavours every day of the week, in the smoothie world there is no such thing as getting bored. Also, as they are frozen, you can enjoy different flavours even if the fruit and vegetables are not in season.

If you have enjoyed reading this, we would like to finish with a little tip: Did you know that smoothies can help you eat that fruit or vegetable you’re not so keen on? You just have to find the perfect combination and add a small amount, the rest of the ingredients can help hide flavours you don’t like. For example, celery has many great properties but what if you don’t like it? Then try our Green Machine smoothie… you’ll be surprised!

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! 😊

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!

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.

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

Do you have a list of resolutions for 2022? We are really looking forward to this year with great excitement to achieve everything we have set out to do. We will make 2022 a great and healthy year by trying to achieve everything we want to do over the next twelve months.

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?

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.

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.

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’ 😉

Refresh’mint, welcome to our Life Smoothies family

Avolicious, welcome to our Life Smoothies family

We have a new flavour at Life Smoothies! Introducing the newest member of the family that avocado lovers will love. This is our new smoothie that we have called ‘Refresh’mint’ and it completes our range full of delicious flavours.

As you can guess, avocado will be the main ingredient, this unique smoothie combines flavours such as pear, lime, mango and a touch of mint which, as you will see, makes it extra special.

Below, we will describe all its wonderful nutrients and benefits for our body, but we can already tell you that this smoothie will make taking care of yourself a real treat. Take note!

Ingredients and nutritional values of Refresh’mint

Of course, the star ingredient of this smoothie is avocado. It is both a fruit and a vegetable and is known as ‘green butter’ because it has a soft, buttery consistency, which makes it perfect for freezing. As you know, we use the IQF method to freeze our fruit within the first 24 hours of harvesting, which allows all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals to be preserved, without having to add preservatives or colourings.

Avocado provides many benefits to the body:

It helps our heart: You may have heard that it is a calorific fruit, and perhaps that is why it is not eaten so often. What we should know is that it provides monounsaturated fat and oleic acid, which will keep cholesterol levels at bay; and also blood pressure as it contains a lot of B vitamins. Moderate consumption in the form of a smoothie is the best way to get the necessary nutrients without going overboard.
Recommended for athletes and pregnant women: It is a great source of potassium and magnesium, which helps our muscles and bones to function and makes it the perfect food for exercising. It also contains large amounts of folic acid, an essential vitamin for pregnant women.
Antioxidant and rich in vitamin E, which helps to prevent cardiovascular and cancerous diseases.
Thanks to its high fibre content, it is very good for the digestive system and intestinal health.
A perfect partner in the summer. Avocado also protects against the sun as it contains beta-carotene, a pigment that is transformed into vitamin A. This helps to protect our skin from the sun’s radiation, and also activates our melanin and intensifies our tan.

What other fruits are in our delicious Refresh’mint?

Pear: A very refreshing fruit, so our smoothie is perfect for hot days or after a workout. It contains a large amount of water, which nutritionally makes it great for weight loss. As well as vitamins, it is also a great source of iron and calcium, ideal for any little ones in the house!

Lime: This touch is very unique, right? The so-called ‘sweet lemon’ will provide acidity without being too bitter. This fruit also contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and fibre, but it also helps our stomach against heartburn and ulcers.

Mango: As you may already know, this fruit is the natural main ingredient of our Mango Paradise. It is rich in nutrients such as potassium, magnesium and vitamins A and C. It will give you that sweet touch, achieving the perfect balance for our Refresh’mint.

Mint: This superfood is widely used in natural medicine, and it’s no wonder. We are very familiar with its aroma, as it is widely used in food, hygiene and beauty products. But eating mint has many benefits: it helps our digestive system, our cardiovascular health, decongestion and is even good for killing the bacteria that cause bad breath. A wonder straight from nature!

As you can see, we could spend hours talking about all the benefits of our new Refresh’mint smoothie, but we think what will really win you over is its delicious taste. So, what are you waiting for?
