Fruits That I Use in Green Smoothies (Part III)

Why Fruits are used in Green Smoothies?

• Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories


• None have cholesterol


• Important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, fiber and folate


• Fruits also make Green Smoothies become palatable and delicious

Fruits can be categorized under different categories based on their taste (do not based on whether they are acidic or alkaline forming):

• Acid Fruits (sour), e.g.

cherry, blackberry, grapefruit, kiwi, lemon, lime, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, pomelo, strawberry, tamarind, tangerine, tomato, etc

• Sub Acid Fruits (not too sour), e.g. apple, apricot, grape, guava, longan, mango, nectarine, papaya, peach, pear, plum, etc

• Melons, e.g. cantaloupe, honeydew, rock melon, watermelon, etc

• Sweet Fruits, e.g. date, durian, fig, jackfruit, lychee, persimmon, etc.

These are some of the fruits that I use in my green smoothies. I love local fruits because they are fresher and also high in nutrients.
