Refreshing, healthy and nutrient rich breakfast smoothies to relish this summer

Smoothies are not only very customisable, allowing you to incorporate your preferred fruits, nuts, seeds, and grains, but they are also bursting with fiber, vitamins, and minerals—everything you need to survive the intense summer heat.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Nimissha Jjain, a dietitian at the Madhuban Diet Clinic in Pitam Pura, Delhi, offered some inventive smoothie recipes.

1. Pineapple Berry Blast Smoothie: For a protein and antioxidant boost, blend mixed berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, with pineapple and almond milk.

2. Mango Papaya Smoothie: In the sweltering summer heat, this thick, creamy mango and papaya treat is the ideal balance of flavor and nutrition. For a creamy, tropical delight, blend some homemade coconut milk with ripe mangoes and papaya.

3. Watermelon Mint Smoothie: This superfood drink will quench your thirst from the inside out and make sure your body gets all the nutrients it needs. Mix lime juice, mint leaves, fresh watermelon chunks, and a little honey to create a cool and pleasant summer beverage.

4. Roasted Chana Sattu Banana Smoothie: A refreshing summer treat that combines protein, vitamins, fiber, and other micronutrients. A creamy, satisfying smoothie full of protein and good fats can be made by blending bananas, almond milk, chana sattu, and two seedless dates.

5. Nutritious green smoothie: Combine cucumber, celery, spinach, and fresh coriander with an amla and a piece of ginger. Garnish with a slice of lemon and mint leaves.
