7 Indian Fruit Smoothies That Make Your Day Better

7. Jamun (Black Plum) Detox Smoothie — Jamun, Mint, Lemon

Jamun gives a deep, slightly tart flavor and a striking color that looks as good as it tastes. Use one cup of fresh or frozen jamun (or substitute blackberries if jamun is unavailable), a handful of mint leaves, the juice of half a lemon, and half a cup of water or coconut water. Blend and strain if you want a smoother drink. Add a teaspoon of jaggery or honey if the jamun is too tart. Jamun is traditionally valued for balancing blood sugar, though anyone with specific health concerns should consult a nutrition professional. It’s a refreshing post-festival choice when you want something light but flavorful. Frozen jamun is sometimes found at South Asian grocers; blackberries are an easy stand-in that captures the color and tart-sweet balance.
