FRUIT SMOOTHIE is a milkshake style health drink housed with vitamins and nutrients instead of calories and unwanted fat. We know the importance of fruit in our diet but grabbing a piece of fruit is something most of us don't bother to do. Make a smoothie and your daily intake is replenished and out of the way.

Fruit smoothies of course can be purchased ready made. But the value of the fruit is less and will contain sugar, and too many can cause healthy problems in the heart and kidney.

Have some fun searching for great fruit smoothie recipes, shopping for beautiful ripe fruits. Making a smoothie at home and enjoying the natural untouched purity of the fruit. Here is a place for great smoothie recipes. Enjoy!

FUNCTIONAL HEALTH BEVERAGE which is basically vegetables. Personally I find it easier to eat a salad everyday, as most vegetable health drinks take a little time to get used to due to their taste.

There is a new health drink on the market these days called the Cell Renewal Formula. Fruit, vegetable extracts, herbs and other plant compounds are combined into a drinkable substance.

You can make vegetable drinks at home using a juice extractor. Add a whole apple, some fresh lemon juice. and honey to whatever combination you choose. This will help sweeten it up.

ENERGY DRINKS don't have a problem with taste but if you search the ingredients, you will see they consists of artificial sweeteners, caffeine or Ephedra. Sometimes all three of these ingredients can be found in one drink. Now it's true that most of these energy drinks replenish electrolytes but they don't have vitamins and nutrients. Drink these in moderation.

Save yourself precious dollars and cents. Give yourself the highest nutritional benefits and go natural with your health drinks.
