I love smoothies.
They’re quick to make and a quick way to get an abundance of nutrients into your body. You can mix a number of different fruits to get a variety of nutrients and antioxidants.
If you put green powders or medicinal herbs in, you can easily hide them with chocolate powders or other superfood powders. (I love to do this)
They’re easy on the digestive system as they have been pre-digested by the blending process. It also helps to get a lot of water in as you use a lot with making smoothies.
Smoothies are also a perfect healthy snack in between meals.
Here are some of the smoothies I enjoy drinking. Blend these ingredients together with a high speed blender. If you don’t have one use less frozen fruits so you don’t burn out the motor. Add more water or fruit to get your desired consistency. Also add in any extra medicinal herbs or superfoods as desired.
