8 Must-Have Smoothies in Mumbai

Freshly blended smoothies with fruits and vegetables can be the perfect start to your day at breakfast or a ‘pick me up’ later in the day when the body needs to re-energise. More so in this warm weather when the body craves for something chilled, yet filling. Packed with nutrients in the form of fruits and vegetables and other ingredients, smoothies need not just be healthy but can be a treat for the taste buds too. Ingredients can be chosen wisely to enhance the flavours of a smoothie. Honey can be added to smoothies for that extra sweetness, along with the customary yoghurt. Chia seeds and nuts add the requisite crunch. Several restaurants and juice bars in Mumbai offer abundant smoothie options for every palate as people prefer to make healthy choices.
