Blackberry\nis a little bit hard to handle, because when it\u2019s rigid enough to pick it, it\u2019s\nnot ripe totally, but when it\u2019s ripe, it\u2019s just too soft to handle it without\nmaking any mess. But don\u2019t worry, all the mess worth it. If you mix it with a\nlittle milk and honey, the result is just amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#15 Cactus Smoothie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mangos are well-known ingredients in multivitamin drinks and juices, so why not make a smoothie out of them? The smoothie sure is dense, so you might want to add some liquid (water or some fruit juice) to make it more fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We have mentioned this fruit before, but it\u2019s just as amazing when you don\u2019t add anything. Maybe a little honey and cucumber to establish a balanced taste and texture, but nothing special. Oh, and did you know? One kiwi a day contains enough vitamins for an adult person. Great, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
