Now aren’t these just the simplest recipes you’ve ever come across? You know, you can also make smoothies for lunch as well as breakfast. Just substitute vegetables for a heartier, more nutritious lunch. Some examples are: a carrot and apple smoothie; a carrot, apple and celery smoothie, or a cucumber, carrot and celery smoothie.

There are various kinds of smoothies you can make. You can invent your own by combining different fruits and vegetables! The vegetable smoothies are great if you don’t have time for a more traditional breakfast. Use your imagination; you never know – you may be starting a trend at home or at work by introducing a healthy way of eating to your family and friends.
