1 | ON-THE-GO SMOOTHIES

FizzUp on-the-go smoothies are great when you don’t have much time in the morning. Just let your blender do all the work as you finish your morning routine. Pour the mixture into a smoothie cup or water bottle and that’s all there is to it! You can get going to work with your smoothie at your side. Enjoy this energy cocktail on your way to the office.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 banana
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 20 cl almond milk
• 5 almonds

PREP TIME (5 MIN.):

Peel the banana then blend all the ingredients together in a blender. Enjoy chilled.

FizzUp tip: This smoothie goes perfectly with doing your workout at the office. Bananas are fuel you can count on. Chia seeds are a good source of iron, calcium, vitamin C and omega-3, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

2 | COCONUT SMOOTHIES

Coconut milk is an ideal alternative to animal milk because it significantly contributes to building and solidifying bones, although it only contains 38 g of calcium.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bag of chai tea steeped in 20cl of hot water
• 20 cl coconut milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

PREP TIME (APPROX. 8 MIN.):

Steep a bag of chai tea by following the instructions printed on the packaging. Meanwhile, mix the coconut milk and the vanilla extract. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 45 seconds.

In a blender, add half of the chai tea then the cinnamon to the mixture. Blend all the ingredients together for two minutes until you get a frothy texture, then enjoy this rich and flavorful smoothie.

FizzUp tip: This smoothie is the perfect snack with one of Santa’s FizzNut cookies. High in iron, potassium and phosphorus, coconut milk keeps you in good health without the inconveniences that animal milk can have for your digestive system.

3 | GINGER SMOOTHIES

When you start to get hungry, try the ginger smoothie to fill you up and give you enough energy to attack your workout. The pear blends with the powers of ginger, giving it sour and oriental flavors.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pear
• 20 cl rice milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon fresh or ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 20 g oats

PREP TIME (APPROX. 8 MIN.):

Cut the pear in half, remove the seeds, then continue to slice it up. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the rice milk, pieces of pear and maple syrup. Keep an eye on the mixture as you stir it occasionally for four to five minutes.

Next, pour the mixture into a blender and add the ginger and oats. Blend until the mixture becomes frothy. Sprinkle your smoothie with cinnamon and enjoy.

FizzUp tip: Both ginger and pear facilitates digestion and bowel movements easier. That’s what makes them great for helping you recover after your holiday parties.
