Ayurveda and Smoothies
While I am not a fan of drinking all your meals, smoothies, juices, and shakes do have their place as they are a great delivery system for micronutrients and minerals, which are often deficient in our foods or incompletely digested because of weak agni, or digestive strength.

I have a question. I thought fruits weren’t to be combined with other foods in Ayurveda?
Great question! Please take look at our article for guidance: https://lifespa.com/diet-detox/diet/fruit-ayurvedic-food-combining-guidelines/
Can fruit and veggies be combined? Fruit have different digestive time than vegetables. Shouldn’t the fruit be eaten by itself according to ayurveda?
It is best to eat fruit on its own! Check out this article: https://lifespa.com/diet-detox/diet/fruit-ayurvedic-food-combining-guidelines/
