Healthy Fruit Shake

One of the things that DH and I agreed together when it comes to diet is adding more veggies and fruits to our daily menu. But of course, most of the time we ended up having veggies and fruits once a week, and sometimes we can go on for weeks without them.

The healthy fruit shake was his officemate’s suggestion.

Originally, it should have been made from carrots, mango and lots of Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) leaves, which is known to be a fertility plant as it is rich in Zinc. The first time we had it, the odor of the leaves was just all over the drink and it was not appealing.

So we made our own fruit mix. We have:

  1 medium sized apple
1 medium sized carrots
2 pcs ripe mangoes
5-6 pcs of lettuce leaves
about 4-5 small slices of watermelon
1 medium sized Yacon
condensed milk
peanuts

so we slice each of the fruits into small pieces before putting them all in the blender together with some milk and crushed ice. . .

. . . and hurrah!, we already have our healthy fruit shake for dinner. DH is on a diet and has been taking only this fruit shake for dinner, three times a week. As for me, i usually drink this after a very light dinner. This healthy fruit shake helps a lot in getting rid of constipation as well.

Try it!
