Chard and fruit in the blender is a weird combination? Not really, because green smoothies are he althy and super tasty.
If you like to eat fruit and vegetables, you will love smoothies. They are prepared in no time at all and also taste really great. On top of that, they are of course very he althy. Since all the ingredients are mixed raw, the green smoothies in particular contain lots of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and fibre.
And best of all: You can put whatever you want in the blender! For example, you can create delicious ginger smoothies or make delicious peach smoothies yourself.
But if you want to prepare green smoothies, you should use chard. The leaves of the chard promise a particularly intense green color and are therefore perfect for green smoothies. They also bring a very special taste with them. So turn on the mixer and let's go!
