Let's make a smoothie

If you don't have a blender, don't fret! You can still make healthy smoothies without one.

• You can use fresh fruit and mash it with a fork; or thaw the frozen fruit in the refrigerator for a few hours and then smash with a fork. Put the fruit and juice into a lidded jar (a mason jar for instance) and shake it up! Maybe you want to skip the greens with this method.

• You can use any type of electric chopper: a food processor, an immersion blender, a stand mixer or electric beaters (even a hand-cranking egg beater or whisk). Again, maybe skip the greens.

• Pour a glass of juice/coconut water/milk. Put room temperature fruit in a bowl. Take a bite of fruit (don't chew), take a sip of drink, and swish swish swish in your mouth!
