( 359) Smoothie Ideas.

Smoothie is a beverage made by crushing ingredients like vegetables, fruits, condiments with some millets blended with water or yoghurt or sometimes with milk. Smoothies are healthy breakfast and sometimes it becomes the best whole day and all days meals in a weight loss journey.

Tips :-

If you are using Oats, Puffs of Amaranth, Cornflakes or Rice flakes always dry roast first and then grind into smooth powder. This has to be stored in an airtight container.

If you are not using organic vegetables and fruits then peel vegetables and fruits before blending them into a smoothie.

Always soak dryfruits overnight or for 5-6 hours in water. So that it becomes easy to digest and blends smoothly.

Life is a journey of evolving roles, each with its own beauty and wisdom. From the structured world of academia to the ever-evolving realm of homemaking, I have embraced each phase with passion and grace. When my children settled into their own lives, I found myself with a renewed sense of purpose—to document and share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years.

During the lockdown, I realized that my experiences in cooking, home remedies, and life’s simple yet profound lessons could serve as a source of inspiration for others. Meticulously and with great concern for the palate, gut health, overall well-being, and the emotional gratification of savoring each preparation, I began crafting a collection of love-filled, cherished recipes, time-tested remedies, and stories woven with warmth and wisdom.

I write under the name "Rajeshree's Kitchen", where I share detailed recipes—the kind that provide exact measurements for ingredients like salt and water, which are often left to personal interpretation in most other kitchen blogs. Additionally, I include practical tips with clear reasons behind them, ensuring that every piece of advice is rooted in understanding and experience. My aim is to make cooking approachable yet precise, helping readers not just recreate dishes but truly connect with the joy of cooking.

This endeavor is my way of preserving traditions, sharing insights, and connecting with those who seek both knowledge and comfort in life's everyday moments.
