During the summer time my taste buds crave something sweet and what better than fruits? I am a sucker for fruits, it doesn’t matter whether it is liquidised or in a salad, it is just amazing. The best thing about fruit: it is a natural sugar which helps in controlling your weight! How cool is that you can eat sweet stuff without gaining weight! I LOVE IT! Here I am going to list you a few of my favourite smoothie recipes that you can try out.

Please note: These recipes contain no sugar – sugar will be replaced with honey!
