Want to eat more fruits to top up your nutritional quotient, but short of time? A yummy smoothie is the answer.
We all are aware that eating three fruits a day is very beneficial for maintaining good health. But how many of us remember to eat our fruits everyday? I am sure most of you may agree with me on this and state,“Yes, we want to eat and we have loaded our fridge with fruits. But we forget or don’t have time to eat them everyday.”
I have got an excellent solution to this problem, after I started drinking smoothie for breakfast.
It is a mouth watering meal in a glass, loaded with vitamins, minerals, nutrients and anti-oxidants. It is divinely delicious too. You also feel content about the fact that you have had a healthy breakfast, and your day’s dose of fruit intake is taken care of. All you have to do is to pick from the following ingredients:
From the above ingredients you can make variety of smoothies of your choice. Here is the recipe of my favourite one.
Banana – 1 Apple/pear half Dried strawberry – 2 Cranberry – 2 Almonds – 2 Curd-half a cup (if you do not want to have sour curd in the morning substitute it with milk.) Mint leaves – 2 or 3 strands or basil/spinach Sprouts/roasted Chana dal – 1 tablespoon. Rosemary/cinnamon – a pinch.
Put them in a blender and run it for a minute. Your yummy and nutritious smoothie is ready. You could mix and match the fruits, vegetable and herbs of you choice for variety. You could also dry grind the nuts separately and use it as a topping or grind all of them together.
Smoothies can be a great addition to your kid’s meal too. Easier and quicker to have, and tastier than the usual serving of fruit!
So let me know in the comments: how do you make your smoothie?

Can you believe this bloke compelled me to wear only saris - full time at home- till the eighth month of my pregnancy?! The excessive heat coupled with humidity made my life miserable.
Recently when I browsed an interesting post by a fellow author on this very forum I had a sense of déjà vu. She describes the absolutely unnecessary hullabaloo over ladies donning nighties and /or dupatta –less suits.
I wish to narrate how I was in dire straits so far wearing a ‘nightie’ was concerned.
I lived in my ultra orthodox sasural under constant surveillance of two moral guardians (read Taliban) in the shape of the husband’s mom and dad. The mom was unschooled and dim-witted while the dad was a medical practitioner. But he out-Heroded the Herod in orthodoxy.
My supervisor introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As a transwoman navigating the corporate world, I had encountered my fair share of discrimination and challenges. Transitioning without the support of my parents and having limited friendships in my personal life made the journey difficult and lonely. However, when I stepped into the office, something remarkable happened, I left behind the stress and negativity, embracing a space where I could truly be myself.
Joining the marketing team as a graphic designer, I was initially apprehensive about how my colleagues would react to my gender identity. But to my surprise, the atmosphere was welcoming and respectful from day one. My supervisor, Sarah, introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As I settled into my role, I discovered that my colleagues went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and included. They consistently used my correct name and pronouns, creating an environment where I could be authentically me. Being an introvert, making friends wasn’t always easy for me, but within this workplace, I found a supportive community that embraced me for who I truly am. The workplace became a haven where I could escape the stresses of my personal life and focus on my professional growth.
