\"Fresh<\/p>\n

It may just be the season, but the whole blogosphere and Instagram community seems to be going crazy about smoothies and smoothie bowls at the moment. I\u2019ve also been observing an increasing demand for smoothies low in fructose, which are just a little bit more challenging to make. I already introduced you to Smoothies<\/a> recipe a while ago, but in general I keep on combining and testing whichever ingredients I manage to get my hands on. One of my favourite finds so far this year is marshmallow. Ok, not quite, but close. It\u2019s actually the common mallow. Common mallow is this lovely little plant, which grows on the side of roads and hiking paths, which we usually don\u2019t pay much attention to. Most people don\u2019t even know that its leaves as well as flowers are edible and that both make wonderful additions to any salad. When added to soups, mallow acts as a thickening agent. Of course you can make some delicious tea with it too. But it is not just its taste that draws me to common mallow. In the end it\u2019s all the more fun, when there are some additional health benefits involved, right? So what good can mallow do for you? First of all it is rich in Vitamin C and beneficial mucilage. The abundant mucilage soothes throat inflammations and coughs. It also has a slightly laxative effect. Not too shabby, don\u2019t you think? What\u2019s best is: Common mallow is free. When you are out on your next walk in an area that resembles nature you\u2019ll probably start spotting it everywhere. Because it literally grows everywhere. That small patch of grass, the one that all the dogs in your neighborhood choose to pee on, does not count though. So grab your book for identifying local, wild flora, go out and collect some mallow for your salad and this fructose free\u00a0smoothie recipe.<\/p>\n

P.s. When gathering your mallow make sure to check for any yellow spots under the leaves. Yellow spots are a sign that the plant is sick. Holes in the leaves don\u2019t matter though.<\/p>\n

Fructose free smoothie with mallow (Serves 1)
\n<\/strong>Usually leafy smoothies can be a bit chunky if you don\u2019t own a high-speed blender. I don\u2019t own one so I usually try not to go overboard with green leaves as I don\u2019t like this chunky feel to them. This smoothie though is astonishingly smooth despite the leaves. Be warned, it is also amazingly filling.<\/p>\n

1 hand full freshly picked mallow, (thoroughly washed)
\n1\/2 banana
\n1\/4 avocado
\n1 EL chia seeds
\n1 leveled tbls maca powder
\n1 sprig of mint leaves
\n1 inch fresh ginger
\njuice of 1\/2 lime, optional
\n1 tsp coconut oil, optional
\nwater, about 1 cup in total<\/p>\n

optional: topping of choice e.g. mallow flowers, hemp seeds<\/p>\n

Put all ingredients except water and topping into your blender and pulse for 20seconds. Add about 1\/2 cup (100 ml) of water and blend for about 60 seconds. Slowly add more water and blend until everything is smooth and the smoothie has reached your desired consistency (I usually add about 1 cup\/200ml in total). Fill in a glass and top off with topping of your choice. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\nVielleicht ist es einfach die Jahreszeit, aber aktuell scheint die gesamte Blogsoph\u00e4re und Instagram Schaar nur ein Thema zu kennen: Smoothies in welcher Form und Farbe auch immer. Ich bin wohl auch schon der Smoothie-Sucht verfallen und hab euch hier meinen aktuellen Lieblings-Smoothie vorgestellt. Bei meinen Smoothies gibt es jedoch eine entscheidende Regel, Rezepten wird grunds\u00e4tzlich nicht gefolgt. Vielmehr kommt in den Mixer was gerade eben zur Hand ist. So auch immer h\u00e4ufiger eine meiner ersten gro\u00dfen Entdeckungen dieses Fr\u00fchlings, die Wegmalve. Weg was? Die Wegmalve ist eine dieser kleinen gr\u00fcnen Pfl\u00e4nzchen, die sich an so ziemlich jedem Weges- und Stra\u00dfenrand niederl\u00e4sst und der allgemein viel zu wenig Beachtung geschenkt wird. Denn, fast kaum jemand weiss mehr heutzutage, dass sowohl die Bl\u00e4tter als auch die Bl\u00fcten essbar sind und nicht nur Salaten einen fr\u00fchlingshaften Kick verleihen. Auch in gekochtem Zustand l\u00e4sst sich etwas damit anfangen. Durch die in den Bl\u00e4ttern enthaltenen Schleimstoffe, kann die Malve sogar zum Andicken von Suppen genutzt werden. Nicht zu vergessen, der Malventee. Doch ist es nat\u00fcrlich nicht nur ihr Geschmack allein, der die Malve \u00fcber Jahrhunderte auf unseren Speiseplan brachte. Die Malve hat einen hohen Vitamin C Gehalt und enth\u00e4lt f\u00f6rderliche Schleimstoffe. Letztere haben entgegen des Namens eine schleiml\u00f6sende Wirkung und helfen insbesondere bei Hustenreiz, sowie Hals- und Rachenentz\u00fcndungen. Dar\u00fcber hinaus hat die Malve eine leicht abf\u00fchrende Wirkung. Gar nicht mal so schlecht f\u00fcr so ein unscheinbares Pfl\u00e4nzchen oder? Das aller beste an der ganzen Sache, die Malve wartet nur darauf von euch gratis am Wegesrand gepfl\u00fcckt zu werden. Haltet einfach bei eurem n\u00e4chsten Spaziergang durchs Gr\u00fcne Ausschau und ich bin mir sicher, ihr werdet jede Menge Wegmalven entdecken (und nicht schummeln, eine Runde auf dem nachbarschaftliche Hundeauslaufplatz z\u00e4hlt nicht!). Also schnappt euch ein Buch zur Bestimmung von Wildkr\u00e4utern, geht raus und sammelt ein paar Malven f\u00fcr den n\u00e4chsten Salat oder diesen aufmunternden Fr\u00fchlings-Smoothie. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[136],"tags":[43,44,45,46,400,399,398,81,101,102,132],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3834,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions\/3834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fructopia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
