Fruit and vegetable smoothies are great for all sorts of reasons, they are not only great for taste, and flavor, and health reasons. Smoothies can help with your overall weight loss and diet goals. Although they have been around for quite some time and is now one of the mainstream staples when it comes to getting in shape.
I have to admit sometimes I make my spinach and orange juice smoothie right before a workout to give me extra energy for an extra added bump. I love protein and whey shake smoothies for that post workout burn, guaranteed to get the juices flowing and vitamins going.
Smoothies are so popular now that you can pretty much find a recipe anywhere you look, however beware not all smoothies are made the same. Some people think that just because it has fruit in it the smoothie is all fat free. While they are pretty much fat free they can be loaded with tons of sugar for sweetness and extra things here and there.
So next time you make your smoothie or get one made ask them to hold on the sugar and creams. Fruits have their own natural sugars already to begin with and are processed a lot easier by the body than sugars bought in the grocery store.
If you have to add some extra sweetness especially with berry smoothies which can tart sometimes. Use agave nectar or some organic turbinado cane sugar.
One smoothie that I love is my Spinach and Orange Juice Smoothie Recipe:
- 1 cup of Spinach
- 1 1/2 cup of Orange Juice
Place in a blender for a minute or two and there you go. You will have a high iron energy smoothie. This smoothie is one of my favorites because it is great for detoxification and cell regeneration.
