Smoothies aren\u2019t particularly popular to have throughout the fasting month — especially when you have the options of having ayam golek<\/em> and rendang instead! However, having a glass of smoothie for berbuka <\/em>makes a lot of sense because a) it\u2019s cool and refreshing to revive you after a whole day of fasting, and b) it is highly nutritious and filling; keeping you from overeating later in the evening. Plus, smoothies are very quick and easy to make! All it takes is just 5 minutes of your time.
