At the end of May 2014, the weather in Vienna jumps between high and low temperatures from 30° to 10° and up again; but the people in the city are prepared to resist these fluctuations from cold, stormy rain to sun and Sahara-like warm winds.

Household label Braun sent some health and beauty supporting 'Green Smoothie'-recipes which were mixed with the 'TributeCollection jug blender JB 3060' (photo below; the Tribute Collection is since April in stores) together with images how the juices should look when ready. Fashionoffice selected a vegetable-fruit drink which strengthens the condition (grapes, spinach) and helps to detoxify (grapes, cucumber) the body for a sporty figure.

The 'Power-Smoothie' (for 2 persons)
Ingredients:
120 g seedless grapes, bright
50 g leaves of baby spinach, washed
A small handful of parsley
1 cucumber
200 ml coconut water
Some ice cubes
Preparation: Put all ingredients into the blender; mix it at first on low-level, then on high-level until the paste is smooth. Serve the smoothie in glasses together with crushed or whole ice cubes.
