Smoothies are one of the most popular beverages for health-conscious people. With the summer heat increasing every passing day, it’s only natural to crave a chilled beverage. While the sugary juices and even flavoured shakes are not a healthy option, a glass of smoothie can totally keep you both hydrated and nourished.
If you feel a fruit-based smoothie gets too heavy, you can always make a nutty smoothie and add loads of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to your glass. So, to quickly whip up a glass of smoothie before hitting the gym, carrying it to work, or even serving your kids, Usha’s hand blender can help you get a consistent beverage in just a few minutes. Just gather your favourite nuts, and try these lip-smacking smoothies.
