A smoothy drink of spinach, apple and cucumber is very healthy - and it's also the latest health trend. Following on from the fruit smoothy, vegetable smoothies are the drink of choice for the health-conscious person. "Juices that are more than 50 percent vegetable are perfect for anyone on the go," according to the author of a recent praise-up in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper.
Bernhard Watzl from Germany's consumer protection body, the Max Rubner Institute, doubted if smoothies were a game-changer, saying: "If you eat five portions of fruit or vegetables a day, then you don't need to drink a smoothy too." However, Watzl went on to say that if smoothies encourage people to eat more vegetables, then that's a positive development.
