Also called: fruit smoothie, smoothie

Blended fruit (and often yoghurt) — nourishing and cooling.

How Smoothie affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.

When to go easy

Cold and sweet-dense, so a large one adds to Kapha; fruit-with-milk is a heavy pairing.
