40 healthy, energizing smoothie recipes to start your day |
According to registered dietitian Frances Largeman-Roth, eating more produce daily is one of the best ways to increase fiber intake and disease-fighting nutrients and can help improve gut health. But getting enough fruits and veggies can be tough. One of the easiest ways to add more healthy greens and nutrient-packed fruits into your day is with a healthy smoothie. Smoothies are an amazing solution to getting a high number of valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients in one refreshing drink or enjoyable bowl. Sure, fruits and veggies are fabulous on their own, but when combined, they can create a range of flavors and textures. And healthy smoothies don't have to taste like salad in a cup. Smoothies can be made to be light, fruit-forward and refreshing, sweet, thick and creamy with nuts and cacao or bright, zesty and filled with greens. Get 40 delicious — and nutrient-packed — smoothie recipes. |
