The health gurus constantly emphasise that we have lots of fruit in our diet. A smoothie combines the goodness of dahi and fresh fruit to create a healthy, nourishing drink. The all- important base of a smoothie is dahi and bananas. Papaya is rich in anti-oxidants, vitamin C,B and many trace elements. It makes a lovely smoothie when combined with dahi. Add some mango for flavour, and you will get a brilliant, sunshine coloured drink. Almonds and honey will take it one step further. Cheers to a glassful of good health!

Note: Kiwi, strawberry or pineapple can also be added to a smoothie. Flax-seed powder would add extra nutrition. Cashewnuts or melon seeds can replace almonds.
