Shakes Recipes

Unlike smoothies (derived from the juice separated from the pulp of the fruit or vegetable), the shakes contain many more fibers, useful to encourage intestinal functions, to help the body expel toxins, to help lower cholesterol and contribute to the sense of satiety.
The base of the shakes is usually made from fresh fruit and raw or cooked vegetables.
You can still expect additions, which include simple fresh water, fruit juices, vegetable milk, coconut water, but also dried or dried fruit or cereals such as oat flakes (previously left to soak), natural sweeteners, vanilla or cinnamon powder.
Just because they are rich in fibers, the shakes are very satisfying.
They are much more than simple drinks and they can represent a light meal.
Depending on the ingredients used, the shakes can have draining functions, slimming or energizing and also used as post workout.
