beverages

When the heat is troubling you and you need immediately refreshment and cooling down, try this strawberry lemonade recipe. The lemonade will help beat the summer heat for sure. I hope you already have ice cubes in the freezer :)

When it comes to sweeteners, I usually suggest using your favourite sweetener. Today I chose a low-calorie product that goes perfectly with fruit, i.e. floral-herbal sugar.

I can't imagine strawberry season without beverages with these delicious, healthy and low-calorie fruits, so I prepared a recipe for a lemonade. I think you'll enjoy a delicious combination of strawberries and pineapple. Ginger will add a bit of character, and lemon juice will increase the vitamin C content ;) The portions are large, so the strawberry-pineapple lemonade can replace a meal. In very hot weather, serve the lemonade chilled in the refrigerator or with ice cubes.

This fresh mint tea with additives will surely make your relaxation after work more pleasant. It will bring a nice refreshment and nourish the senses. In summer, you can serve it cold with ice cubes to cool the body on hot days. Enjoy!

Yoghurt smoothie with berries will be perfect as a snack or a healthy diet dessert. You can prepare it at any time all year round, so it is worth having a stock of fruit in the freezer to enjoy them even in the winter, e.g. when you come back home after training and need a nice refreshment. There are many ways to prepare such a refreshing smoothie. You can use frozen fruits or fresh fruits and add ice cubes to them. Instead of agave syrup, you can blend a ripe, sweet banana that has also been previously frozen. Freedom also applies to plant-based milk and yoghurt – I've chosen rice milk and coconut yoghurt.

The mango smoothie with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and turmeric will surely tickle the fancy of those who like Indian flavours. In addition to the taste and aromatic qualities, the above spices have also many health benefits. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic, antioxidant and even slimming properties, it also prevents arterial hypertension. Cinnamon exhibits anti-cancer, antiseptic and refreshing properties. It also strengthens the body, but it shouldn't be used in excess. Cardamom has a refreshing effect and is recommended for digestive problems. These are just a few properties of these spices chosen by me.

Kale is a great plant for preparing any kind of healthy smoothies. It's also worth adding yoghurt to the smoothie to take care of the intestinal microbiota and to give an interesting taste, because yoghurt also contributes to increasing the taste. This yoghurt smoothie owes its sweetness to ripe bananas and sweet apples, which, besides lemon, contain vitamin C. The vitamin C is very important for the absorption of iron provided by our wonderful green plant. If you add hemp protein containing omega-3 acids, you'll get an extremely nutritious meal. You can drink such a smoothie e.g. for brunch.

Kale is worth introducing into your diet for good, because it is a real vitamin bomb and a source of antioxidants. Maybe it is not the most delicious vegetable itself, but when you combine the kale with other ingredients, it tastes really great.

Linseed and hemp seeds provide among other things, the omega-3 fatty acids and must be included in the menu. All these ingredients, which are so important for vegans, can be combined for example in a green smoothie that can perfectly replace a meal, e.g. a brunch or an afternoon tea, or maybe even a dessert for those who are on a slimming diet. In addition to the above-mentioned ingredients, it is necessary to add your favourite fruit – I have chosen apples and pears. If they are not sweet enough, it is worth adding a few dates. Cheers!
