Product Information

My favourite of the bunch. I love how the zingy lemon shines through, complemented beautifully by the sweetness of the kiwi and honey. Cold Busting Smoothie Ingredients Much of what we eat today has lower nutrient levels than when our parents and grandparents were growing up. This is down to mass industrialisation of fruit and veg and much less time devoted to farmland where farmers nurture the crop and provide it with the best love and care through soil, fertiliser and seeds. It’s a great bug-busting, cold-fighting energy drink, which really spruced me up. Perfect after a gruelling workout or as a breakfast smoothie. Be careful not to overdo it on the ginger. So, armed with lots of fruit and veg and, of course, the Breville Blend-Active*, I set about creating five very healthy smoothies, which are perfect for on-the-go and the cold winter months! 5-a-day smoothie Ingredients The Blend Active is mains powered. What makes the Blend Active portable is the removable bottle where you blend all your ingredients and then take away with you wherever you need to go!

Is eating vegetables in the form of a smoothie the same as eating them whole? Do you get the same nutritional value? For a bit of protein, you can either make this a chia seed smoothie and add chia seeds or add a dollop of peanut butter which lowers the GI index of the smoothie too. Green Smoothie Ingredients When juicing fruits and vegetables some of the healthy fibre is lost. That’s because juicers separate the juice from the pulp and skins (which contain the fibre). As a result, juices can spike your blood sugar in a more dramatic way than if you ate the actual fruit or vegetable. What’s more, you lose some polyphenols and antioxidants which are found in citrus fruits and skins of fruits and vegetables.In addition to making nutritious smoothies the Blend Active compact pact food processor is prefect for those who want to get more out of their personal blender. It includes a handy compact processor to speed up fiddly meal prep jobs. It depends on where the fruit and veg are grown. A landmark 2004 University of Texas study compared what’s now on store shelves to vegetables from 1950 and they saw a decline of 5% to 40% in certain nutrients among 43 types of produce. When you blend all your fruits with a blender and drink it what effect does this have on the glycaemic index and why should we care? Plus the Breville active blend is a quality small kitchen appliance so it doesn’t take up much space at all, even with the Breville blender bottle. We have been using the Breville blender and juicer to make some delicious Breville Blend Active Milkshake recipes and Breville Blend Active protein recipes too, as well as Breville Blender recipes for weight loss. I also want to invest in a juicer cookbook so watch this space..

Each of the blender bottles is made from Eastman Tritan copolyester which is a durable BPA-free, odour, taste and stain-resistant material used for manufacturing sports bottles. It is able to withstand extreme use and repeated dishwasher cleaning. A rich and full-flavoured smoothie, with a berry punch. It certainly felt like I was drinking a meal! Citrus Smoothie Ingredients
