Starting the day with a healthy smoothie is part of many of us's morning routines. But when it's too cold to get out of bed in the morning, the last thing you want is a cold drink. If you still don't want to go without delicious smoothies in autumn and winter, you can also prepare them warm. Warm smoothies are the trendy drink for the cold season as they warm you pleasantly from the insidegive the immune system an extra vitamin kick. But what is the difference to the classic smoothie? Are warm smoothies good for losing weight? What should you keep in mind when preparing them? You can find the answers to these questions and many delicious recipes in this post.
The perfect companion in the cold season
Warm smoothies differ from the classics both in terms of temperature and in the selection of ingredients. Frozen fruit and vegetables and ice cream are not on the list of ingredients. Instead, you rely on ingredients that have warming properties and can be easily heated at the same time. The typical spices of autumn such as cinnamon, ginger and turmeric are an important part of the recipes for warm smoothies. For a winter smoothie, the base should also be warm. Hot water, freshly brewed tea or warm milk work best for this.
It's a warm smoothieperfect hot breakfastfor the fall-winter season. It warms the body from the inside and is perfect for cold mornings when things really have to be done quickly. You can also use warm smoothies to prepare delicious smoothie bowls, which ensure a good start to the day and keep you full for a long time.
Are warm smoothies healthy?
Just like “normal” smoothies, warm smoothies provide the body with fresh fruit and vegetables and therefore offer a quick and healthy alternative for the first meal of the day. But they don't have to be cooked piping hot, just pleasantly warm. In this way, the vitamins and minerals it contains are not lost. Such a warm drink in the morning stimulates digestion, prevents flatulence and with the right selection of ingredients it can keep you full for a long time. Ingredients such as ginger and lemons, for example, provide the body with vitamin C and act as a real immune system booster in the cold season.
Can you make warm drinks in the blender?
The material of your blender is very important for warm smoothies. A glass container is unsuitable for hot liquids as the glass can burst if the heat is too high. For safety reasons, be sure to use a blender with a plastic container for warm (but not hot) products.
Important:Never fill your stand mixer with boiling liquid! Under the high pressure, the lid can open and the liquid can spray out.
If you would like to prepare a smoothie warm, you can first stir it in the blender as usual and then heat it briefly in the microwave or in a saucepan at a low temperature. It is important not to heat the drink too much, otherwise the antioxidants and other important nutrients from the raw food will be lost. To prevent this from happening, the temperature should not reach more than 40-45 degrees. Blending the smoothie for a long time in a high speed blender (about 3-4 minutes) also makes it warm. Alternatively, you can also use a hand blender or stir in the warm liquid for the smoothie after pureeing.
