Carrot Nuts Breakfast Smoothie

After some healthy, herbal and Green Smoothies, Iam coming up with a delicious, kids-friendly Smoothie which my kids really love. I always make sure to include Carrots in their everyday menu in one form or the other. I could see my daughter's eye power is improving considerably with Carrots. This recipe has an aromatic nutty flavour which goes well with Carrot.

Banana Oats Chia Seed Milkshake | Banana Oats Smoothie

My theme for this week's Blogging Marathon is Desserts. Valli had given the Wiki list of desserts from which we were supposed to choose 3 different category for the 3 days. My health(calorie)-conscious DH was very grumpy as I had been doing a lot of sweets/ desserts these days just because I needed to blog. I too had very little time to devote. So, I zeroed down on healthy and quick recipes under different Dessert categories.To start with, I chose a healthy milkshake sans Ice-cream topping which serves as an excellent Breakfast Smoothie also. Packed with wholesome goodness of Banana and Chia seeds, it is extremely nourishing and filling on its own and a best option for a healthy breakfast.

Strawberry Yoghurt Smoothie | Summer Cooler Recipe

Fruit and veggie Smoothies are a great way to nourish the body with all natural goodness and essential nutrients. Making a good Smoothie every morning has become a part of our food habit and I feel this is the best expenditure of time and money one would make. Combining fruits and veggies into a juice is also my favourite, especially I love this healthy Apple-Orange-Beet juice. More than juices, Smoothies give you more plenty of fiber and nutrients and they make up for a complete breakfast and help you tide through the day. Yoghurt is one of the best Smoothie base which will double up the joy for my kids. So, I prefered to combine Yoghurt with Strawberry. Cool of with one of the delicious fruit Smoothies which will be up in the coming days!

Vegan Avocado Smoothie | Avocado Milkshake | Summer Cooler recipe

Avocado is considered as Nature's Superfood and has amazing health benefits including a healthier heart, better skin and also aids in weight loss and treating health problems like diabetes and arthritis.Though it has a high fat content, the calories are actually nutrient-dense calories, made up of monounsaturated fats and Omega-3. Due to its creamy texture, Avocados can be replaced in place of butter in many baking recipes and can be just spread on butter for a quick and healthy breakfast. I had earlier used Avocado to prepare a Guacamole and add it in my Garden Salad. We also enjoy this Avocado milkshake often for a fulfilling breakfast. For a vegan version, I prepared this with Almond milk and it tasted absolutely heavenly!
