Tropical Fruit and Rice Smoothie

CategoryDifficultyBeginner

Loaded with fruit, this smoothie gives us all the summer feels, nutrients, and fibre, and the addition of the cooled cooked rice assists in lowering its Glycaemic Index while adding a smooth texture and bulk to the formulation. As this is a carbohydrate predominant smoothie, this would make for a great pre-exercise meal 2-3 hours prior. This smoothie could also be divided into ice lolly moulds and frozen, making for a great summer snack around the pool for the whole family.
