Adriana Lima’s Super Smoothies diet
Adriana loves super smoothies, fresh fruit, and veggies. Adriana also takes a daily vitamin and drink lots of different herbal teas to help purify my body. It doesn’t bounce back the way it used after having kids, so Adriana has to work out really hard to be in good shape in addition to being a tired mother.

Super Smoothies
Super Smoothies are a great way to increase your energy levels, in particular before or after exercise, when you just do not feel like cooking a meal. Most smoothie recipes contain a source of calcium such as yogurt, milk, or quark. You will need a blender to make the smoothie recipes, and they are best served chilled or over ice.
Many smoothies are naturally higher in calories than straight juices, so one a day is a good guideline. Bananas are one of the highest sugar fruits and differ greatly in size too, so do not overindulge if you are on a serious calorie-controlled diet.
Smoothies can be made out of season using tinned or dried fruits – but watch the calorie count. Try adding frozen fruits such as berries, which work well in smoothies.
