Notes
How to make smoothies healthier?
Add Green Vegetables. Greens are among the healthiest foods on the planet, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Add a handful of spinach or kale to your smoothie for an instant boost of nutrients. My favorite is to sneak into smoothies is baby spinach! Just 2 cups of baby spinach, has only 20 calories, 0 grams of fat. Add a touch of healthy fats to your smoothie by including omega-3 rich ingredients. Chia seeds, flaxseeds, creamy avocado, almond butter and walnuts are excellent choices. Add protein-rich ingredients such as Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a scoop of high-quality protein powder.Nutrition
