General rules

Many people mistakenly believe that smoothies are drinks. In fact, it is a nutritious, healthy, tasty and low-calorie mixture made from various food ingredients using a blender. A cocktail can replace a full lunch or dinner, depending on the ingredients used to make it. Against this background, the smoothie diet promises to get rid of 2 extra pounds in a week without feeling constant hunger and irritability.

Literally from the English "smooth"translated as delicate, soft, suggestive. The homeland of smoothies is England, where they are widely used by office workers as lunch or a light snack. A freshly prepared cocktail can be a very satisfying meal due to the high dietary fiber that has a positive effect on the digestive system. The mixtures are easily digested and do not cause a feeling of heaviness after taking.
