You missed out!
Whenever I feel exhausted, dehydrated and heavy, I crave for this fresh detox smoothie.
Especially tropical fruits are great smoothie material, such as a pomelo fruit smoothie or a mango pineapple banana smoothie.
Fruit smoothies can be enjoyed the whole day, but I think they have a better effect on the body in the morning or early afternoon hours.
Choice of fruits
I think some fruits are better than others in smoothies. Occasionally, I would even go so far as to combine certain fruits together and not with another fruit because they taste better that way combined.
My fruit choice for this detox smoothie is simple. I pick one fresh and ripe apple, grapefruit, and Kiwi.
Why?
Because apple grapefruit and kiwi taste great together and because each fruit is known to rejuvenate after an arduous day or night.
- Apple
- Kiwi
- Grapefruit
Your fruit smoothie is completely sugar-free if you use good quality fruits, which are a bit sweeter in nature.
For example, red apples are sweeter than green apples. Kiwis tend to be on the sweeter side, too.
