Is Apple Lime Smoothie with Ginger & Cardamom Good for Me?
Find out by taking this free, easy quiz.
You'll learn your body type, and whether Apple Lime Smoothie with Ginger & Cardamom is a good fit for you. Time to complete: approximately 1 minute.
ayurvedic perspective
Revive your body with this refreshing & life restoring smoothie that boasts a zing of lime and summer spices. The heat of summer seems to bake the electrolytes out of your body, making you feel tired and fatigued. Smoothie are a perfect way to rehydrate your body in summer.
Summer is a natural time of year to introduce more simple carbohydrates into your diet, such as the fructose found in fruit. These simple sugars restore blood sugar levels, which can be unstable after sweating in the heat. A pinch of salt can benefit dry Vata types.
Raw apples cool & refresh your body when the heat is strong due to their astringent taste (the rough feeling on your tongue). Lime, cardamom & ginger make this smoothie light and playful. The sour taste of the lime opens your pores helping you keep cool. Ginger & cardamom are a digestive aid.
Exercise moderation with fruit smoothies if you have high blood sugar levels or diabetes.

Love this!
This is delicious.
Absolutely refreshing and delicious, like an exotic drink !
Unlike other users, this didn't taste that delicious. I would say too much lime, though I put one or two thin slices. I would use very sweet apple next time to just knock off that sharp lime taste.
If not sweetened, good for a premeal tonic, and best followed by a gargle of green tea to neutralize acidity. Sour apples make my teeth quite sensitive.
