Health Benefits

Do you carry fruit for work? Fruits play a key role in providing our body with necessary nutrients. Read on to know more.

• The low-calorie fibrous dragon fruit contains antioxidants, iron, and magnesium. Thus, consuming the fruit energizes the body, helps control blood pressure, maintains blood sugar levels, and aids muscle functioning.
• Kiwi is a must-have fruit to get your daily quota of calcium, potassium, Vitamin C, E, and K. It protects from skin infection, curbs hair loss, shields from eye diseases, and improves sleep.
• Satsumas builds immunity, supports weight loss, and maintains healthy digestion. This fruit helps detox and hydrate the body. Moreover, consuming the fruit can heal wounds quickly and improve skin elasticity.

Ingredients

1. Dragon Fruit – It is a tropical fruit with a sweet taste. Texturally, it has a creamy flesh with tiny seeds offering a slight crunch. The seasonal deluxe fruit for work basket by eatfruit includes dragon fruit and many other fresh fruits.
2. Kiwi – It offers a distinct sweet and sour flavour to the smoothies. A perfectly ripe kiwi is slightly soft when squeezed, while if it’s too soft then it’s overripe.
3. Satsumas – It offers a juicy sweetness mixed with a hint of tanginess. You can add it to a smoothie or savor it as a refreshing office fruit snack.
4. Cashew milk – This sweet nutty milk gives the smoothie a rich creamy texture. It’s thinner than skimmed milk and thicker than almond milk.
5. Sunflower seeds – It’s a yummy seed offering a soft bite. This is an optional ingredient.

Tips

• Dragon fruit pairs well with bananas, mangoes, and pineapples too. All of them are available to order in the office fruit mix.
• You may opt for green grapes if you don’t like kiwi. Green grapes add a similar zingy kick to the smoothie.
• Satsumas sweetens the smoothie naturally. Add one tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or dates for more sweetness. Eatfruit has premium quality dates which can be included in your fresh fruit delivery.
• Almond milk and soy milk are good substitutes for cashew milk. These plant-based milk are thinner in consistency than cashew milk, so using frozen fruits instead of ice cubes is a better choice.
• Besides sunflower seeds, you may top your smoothie with one tablespoon of hemp or chia seeds.
