Don’t you just hate the parched lips and the dry skin you get every winter? Do you get dryness in your eyebrows and are there flakes of dandruff on your shoulders every time you let your hair down? Then you probably need a good healthy routine to stay hydrated this fall! Even nutritionists and dermatologists recommend incorporating a nutritious smoothie in your diet every season. Especially, if you have a habit of leaving the greens behind on your plate and only eating the delicious meat portion. You need another more convenient way of including these nutritious fruits and veggies in your diet and the easiest way to do this is by drinking a smoothie made of seasonal fruits at least once a week!

Although, dieticians recommend using as many green vegetables as you can manage in your blender along with seasonal fruits. Refrain from adding too many greens because you don’t want the smoothie to taste unpleasant.

This fall however, we have come up with the best formula for a delicious as well as healthy smoothie for this season! The recipe and the ingredients are given below! Enjoy!

2. 2 small apples and 3-4 bananas

Recipe

Follow the steps given below in order to make the smoothie!

 

1. Remove the rough stalks from the greens and add them to your blender.

2. Add the hemp seeds to the jug.

3. Remove the stalks from the fruits and add them to the blender after chopping them roughly. You can remove the seeds from the apples and pears if you like. But if you have a blender with very sharp blades then the seeds will blend into the smoothie.

4. Then blend this mixture after adding water to it.

5. Peel the bananas and add them to the blender and blend the mixture till you get a creamy texture.

6. Check the consistency of the smoothie. If you prefer a thinner texture, then add more water to it. Otherwise the drink is ready for use. You can also store it in your fridge over the next few days.
