Smoothies can be a great idea for a very healthy iftar and since it does not require a lot of time of preparation, you can use the time before iftar best for making duas, asking for istighfar and taking advantage of every Ramadan special evenings. Smoothies can be best prepared for breakfast, but we are suggesting them for iftar because it is not a heavy meal for your stomach. Because when you are fasting and have your stomach empty for hours, it is not a good idea going with a meal that is overloaded into fats or carbs. Keep it simple, just something to break your fasting and take it easy before getting into a huge meal.
With that having said we are sharing with you three smoothie recipes with ingredients that you can easily find by this time of the year.
