People often talk about “anti-cellulite smoothies”. Let’s be honest: no food can make cellulite disappear. However, a homemade smoothie is a delicious way to enjoy fruit, and sometimes vegetables, as part of a balanced diet. There are endless variations of this refreshing drink, so to help you get started, we’ve handpicked 5 recipes.
What a smoothie really provides
Smoothies are a simple way to enjoy fruits and vegetables every day. Blended raw, they retain the fibre of whole fruit, unlike juice, while the lack of cooking helps preserve vitamins that are sensitive to heat, such as vitamin C. With your seasonal smoothies, you’ll be enjoying vitamins, fibre, water, minerals and more… but no fruit or vegetable can make cellulite disappear. That said, be mindful not to overdo it: fruit is naturally high in sugar, and adding milk or yoghurt can increase the calorie count.
Our tip: pour your smoothie into a large bowl to create a delicious smoothie bowl! Add your favourite toppings (homemade granola, dark chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, berries…) for a tasty, satisfying breakfast.
