1. Refresh yourself: Protein fruit smoothie
This smoothie is really a real fruit rhapsody, and it’s also rich in protein.
You can never have enough great smoothies! We are especially looking forward to them now that the season of our favorite fresh berry, strawberries, has arrived. In addition to strawberries, we added orange and mango to this smoothie, and the creaminess was provided by Greek yogurt and strawberry whey. If you make this smoothie when strawberry season is over, feel free to replace them with blueberries or any other available berries. Another tip: during the hot summer months, add crushed ice to the smoothie and blend everything together-you will get extremely nutritious, refreshing and fine refreshment: a protein fruit smoothie!
Ingredients (for 2-3 people):
- 180 ml of water
- 250 g of Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1/2 teaspoon bourbon vanilla
- 1 scoop of strawberry-flavored whey protein
- 1 orange
- 125 g of mango
- 60 g of strawberries (or blueberries)
Preparation:
Peel the orange from the peel and the inner white part. Cut into slices. Peel the mango and cut it into smaller pieces. Wash and clean the strawberries.
In the container, i.e. the glass of the blender, put in order: water, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, whey protein, orange, mango and strawberries (if desired, add crushed ice).
Blend everything well into a creamy smoothie, serve in suitable glasses and enjoy!

This combination of nutrients and taste will not only wake you up but also serve as a perfect refresher after training due to the coconut water and electrolytes it contains, as well as the many vitamins and minerals from the fruit. If you wish, you can also add half a banana for an extra boost of energy and nutrients!

3. Spinach smoothie with fruit
The fight against cellulite starts already in the winter days-start it with the help of this nutritional bomb made of spinach, orange and pineapple.
Another nutritious and dietary smoothie that will help fight cellulite. Spinach is an excellent source of iron and fiber. It improves digestion, thus helping to remove harmful substances from the body. Bananas are a good source of dietary fiber and help prevent fluid retention in the body. Cinnamon stimulates circulation and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Ingredients:
- a handful of spinach
- 1/2 orange
- a handful of pineapples
- half a banana
- a small teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 dl of water
Preparation:
Peel and cut the pineapple, half an orange, and banana into pieces. Cut the stems off the spinach. Place the ingredients in a bowl, cover with water, add a small teaspoon of cinnamon, and mix with a stick mixer. Prepare quick and healthy smoothies in just 5 minutes and consume them as nutritious snacks at any time of the day. This treatment speeds up circulation, prevents water retention in the body, dissolves excess fat, and gets rid of toxins and cellulite.
