Royal gala apples are on sale, and some figs from my garden. As a crazy fruits puree person and to fill me up for longer. I am making a smoothie.  Do drink smoothie in moderation.

Google: “A smoothie is a beverage made by puréeing ingredients in a blender. A smoothie commonly has a liquid base, such as fruit juice or milk, yogurt or ice cream. Other ingredients may be added, including fruits, vegetables, non-dairy milk, crushed ice, whey powder or nutritional supplements.”

“While they provide several health benefits, drinking too many smoothies can negatively affect your health. They can add a lot of unforeseen calories, especially when a smoothie is simply a beverage with a meal.”

Google: “Apples are a nutritious, tasty choice full of beneficial plant compounds and dietary fiber. Every variety has its own unique combination of antioxidants, making them diverse and delightful. The phenolic content in the Royal Gala apple is higher compared to other apple varieties, and it exhibits a higher antioxidant capacity. Additionally, the apple provides a significant amount of total fiber and vitamin C, making it a healthy choice for a balanced diet. They’re rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols. Polyphenols are a group of antioxidants, molecules that fight free radicals in your body. Among their many health benefits, antioxidants may help prevent cancer, inflammation, heart disease, and weight gain.”

“Figs would be a beneficial addition to a balanced diet. They are rich in fibre, which can help to reduce hunger and cravings and support digestive health. They also contain more calcium than some other fruits, so could be a useful source for anyone following a dairy-free diet. One major benefit of figs is that they are a naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free food. They are also an excellent source of: Magnesium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium.”
