Yum Yum Smoothie


It turns out you a really can eat your way to better health. A smoothie for breakfast helps you get hydrated at the start of the day, something soda and coffee won’t do. Since your body pulls water from many foods in order to stay hydrated, you won’t have to drink water when you’re sipping on a smoothie (especially a homemade one without the artificial sugar). Milk and yogurt are largely water, so if your smoothie is dairy-based  (dairy is optional), you’ll quench your thirst. This is especially handy if you only have one cup holder on your commute. In hot weather, add a few ice cubes to the blender for extra water.
I personally love juice mixed with vegetables and fruits.

One cup of water
One stalk of celery
Two tbsp of crushed/chunk pineapples
One carrot
Two tbsp of pomegranate seeds
few red grapes
One tsp of chat masala or dash of sea salt and black pepper
Half gala apple
One tbsp of flax seeds optional ( i add for the Omega fatty acid in my diet) 
Ice cubes optional

Preparation:
Wash all the ingredients very thoroughly so all the debris  is gone and cut into pieces. No need to take the peel off.Add all the ingredients  in a blender to blend till  its smooth. I shall highly  recommend the “Vitamix” blender for smoothies  it blends very evenly and it blends fiber into juice very finely. However, one can use any other blender available at home. Also, you can filter the juice  threw sieve if you don’t like the too much fiber. I prefer to leave fiber in my juice. Good for you. Cheers!
