Are you looking for a treat that supplies your body with nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and protein? A smoothie can do just that! When you use the right ingredients, a smoothie can be tasty and healthy. Follow these three steps to create a nutritious smoothie.
A smoothie is a great way to get a serving from food groups you may be missing at meals. If you are not getting enough veggies, throw in a handful of spinach. For healthy fat, use peanut butter or avocado. Yogurt and milk will help meet your dairy needs. You can even get a serving of grains from oatmeal. The possibilities really are endless.
When you are short on time, make a smoothie to take on the go. Keep chopped up fruit and veggies in the fridge for a quick add in. Pour your blended creation into your favorite cup or plastic tumbler and head out the door. Click here to see our ambassador’s favorite smoothie recipes. Enjoy!
