Tips & Advice

Pineapple

• All the insides of the pineapple can be used in a smoothie. You won't notice the hard core as it will blend into a completely smooth mass.

Orange

• The white layer on the orange will help to create a creamy, good consistency in the smoothie.

Banana

• Banana also makes the smoothie creamy at the same time as it contains a lot of potassium. One course a day can make a positive difference for those who struggle with high blood pressure.

Flaxseed

• Flaxseed contains a lot of good fat and fiber. Few people get enough fiber in Norway, and it is important for the intestines. There are also very many of the nutrients that bind to the fibres, so they become a sort of conveyor belt.
