Walk down any high street anywhere in the world and you are sure to come across a vast selection of different shops, all of which are selling a diverse range of different products. Also you will no doubt come across smoothie bars on your travels as they are proving to be very popular as well these days.
Smoothie bars are springing up everywhere as more and more people are looking for healthier options for their lunch whilst at work. Smoothies are a great way to get those much needed vitamins and minerals into your body, and they leave you feeling refreshed yet fulfilled.
The vast majority of smoothie bars you will find on your high street will have set menus, but you can ask them to make whatever flavours take your fancy. Only the very best fresh fruit is used which means your smoothie is generally made whilst you wait. Strawberries, raspberries and orange juice combined with a little fat free natural or probiotic yoghurt and a little honey is a great way to start the day, and already you will have had three of your five a day.
Bananas and pineapple makes for a great combination too, as does blueberries and banana. Kiwi fruits, apples, pears, oranges and grapes are just some of the other fresh fruits you could try in a smoothie, or how about coconuts, peaches, passion fruits and mango.
The good thing about smoothies is that there are no rules; you simply add whatever flavourings you like. Because fresh fruits and fresh juices are used in smoothies you may have to have what is in season, but these days fresh fruits are transported all over the world so more often than not your favourites will be available.
Smoothies are low in fat and ideal for people who are looking to lose weight, but they are also full of vitamins and minerals and free from all artificial colourings and flavourings which is another reason to eat a smoothie on a regular basis.
Check out the smoothie bars in your area and try one the next time you want something a little different.
