I) Summer Survivor
Summer in the city, but the living is not easy. The streets are boiling and the pollution is massive. Viruses and bacteria sneak through the air-condition in your office. Time to get energized and boost your resistance.
ingredients:
Granny Smith apple
mango
pineapple
blueberries
strawberries
taste experience:
The sweet mango and pineapple contrasts great with the sharpness of Granny Smith, superbly blended with the berry flavours.
benefit:
Excellent source of vitamin A & C from mango and strawberries. Apple and blueberries gives you fibre (pectin in granny smith) and pineapple is rich on magnesium and the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain.

II) Sweet Seducer
After a long and hot summer day, get refreshed and energized for the second half of the day. This delicious smoothie combines refreshing benefits of watermelon and yoghurt with instant energy from bananas and honey.
ingredients:
bananas
low-fat yoghurt
watermelon
honey
ice-cubes
taste experience:
The sweetness and smooth texture from bananas and honey goes great with the refreshing taste of watermelon, frozen yoghurt and extra ice-cubes.
benefit:
Excellent source of potassium and magnesium (bananas), calcium from the yoghurt and vitamin A from watermelon.
