Hello beautiful foodies! Shakes and smoothies are also interesting part of summer. Today I prepared a refreshing fruit shake that will cool down all our mood and and a superfood to our body as well.
Having smoothies is also an alternative way of eating your fruits and veggies.

I just peel and sliced them all, put in a blender, pour a little water, then puree.

Tips:
They say the bright and beautiful color of the fruit flesh the more it has the antioxidants and phytonutrients it has. Indeed it is.
When certain fruits are in season, try to stock and freeze them up. So, whenever you're craving of that fruit, you can have it anytime.
Most store- bought smoothies have added sugar or extra, sweeteners in yoghurt or cream. So it is more advisable to make your own smoothie at home.
